The underlying theme from this course is a deceivingly simple question: What can we reasonably expect in terms of the control and prevention of cybercrime?
For your policy paper you will answer this question by developing a comprehensive crime plan that addresses one specific modality of cybercrime. Factors to consider in your paper should center around the topics of this class.
First, you should discuss the societal impacts of cybercrime. Next, you should discuss the United State and international law that seeks to control this particular type of cybercrime. Finally, you should discuss the investigation of cybercrime as well of the efficacy of prevention efforts by police, government, and/or private entities.
