This course provides an exploration of cybercrime and cyber-harm, using examples such as cyberobscenity and cyberterrorism to illustrate the economic and social impacts. The course aims to encourage critical thinking, considering a range of key theoretical perspectives in criminal justice and their application to cybercrime.

Finally, we examine the challenges of policing cybercrime, evaluating current approaches and discuss recommendations.
