Course description

The threats posed to nation states, businesses, and individuals by cybercriminals are expanding in reach and developing in their levels of sophistication. Traditional crimes are increasingly being cyber-enabled and new areas of criminal activity are embedding online. Countering such threats requires possessing a detailed understanding of both the technical methods of attack used by cybercriminals and the human factors that drive cybercrime. From theoretical and empirical perspectives, this foundation course provides an introduction to those human factor considerations within a framework focusing on cybercrimes, cyber-enabled crimes, and cyber deviance. The course will also examine countering the insider threat; the array of challenges confronting the criminal justice system in responding to the proliferation of cybercrimes; the various roles, responsibilities, and relationships involved in cyber security; and case studies of prominent cybercrime incidents.
