Description

'Cybercrime' examines how the online world has borne new crimes and law enforcement responses, as well as investigates how the computer has become both a target of attack and a tool for criminal activity. ‘Cybercrime’ explores a number of emerging cybercrimes , and also explores how old crimes are affected in new mediums. How do nation-states regulate criminal activity of those persons and organizations located abroad? How is law enforcement shifting from traditional mechanisms to new regulatory regimes and technological solutions? The course will be taught from an inter-disciplinary perspective. A technical background is not essential.
