Course description

The threats posed to nation states, businesses, and individuals by cybercriminals are expanding in reach and developing in their levels of sophistication. To respond effectively requires possessing a detailed understanding of the "why's" and "how's" of cybercriminal activity: why an individual might commit a cybercrime and how such crimes are committed. To explore these areas, this course focuses on offender characteristics, motivations, and methods; features particular to online spaces that factor into offending and victimization; processes associated with cybercrime risk/threat analysis, investigation, intervention, and prevention; and the wide-ranging impacts and effects that cybercrimes have on victims. The course will examine multiple types of offending, including cybercrimes motivated by financial gain, abuse, exploitation, ideology, and disrupting national security.
