CCJ 3081 - Combating Cybercrime

Credit(s): 3
Cybercrime has been with us since the advent of the computer. However, as our reliance on computers and Internet of Things (IoT) has grown, the amount of cyber-related crime and malfeasance has grown exponentially. Computers have allowed criminals to “scale-up” their reach and the consequences and financial gains of their plunders. Accordingly, every state and the federal government have enacted laws prohibiting unauthorized use of computers, and in recent years, governments have tried to harmonize these laws internationally.
