Application: Final Project Introduction: Evolution of Cybercrimes

The Internet has changed lives in fundamental and positive ways. It also has opened the door to new types of cybercrime, which can run the gamut from identity theft to organizing terrorist plots. As each new type of crime comes to light, usually through a case that draws national attention, law enforcement and government respond using increasingly sophisticated surveillance technology. Law enforcement’s use of technology to prevent and combat cybercrime has prompted even greater “advances” in criminal activity with the use of encryption, anonymizers, and proxy servers.

With this assignment, you begin building your Final Project. To begin, select one of the cybercrimes presented in this course: cyber-bullying, cyber-stalking, cyber-hate, cyber-predators, or a type of white-collar crime that utilizes technology. Examine the evolution of that cybercrime and consider how advances in technology have influenced its evolution.

The Assignment (2–3 pages)

  • Describe the type of cybercrime you selected.
  • Explain the evolution of the cybercrime, including when it gained national attention and any circumstances or case that might have prompted the national attention.
  • Explain how advances in technology have influenced the evolution of that cybercrime.
