Countering Cybercrime

3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Juris Doctor, Undergraduate

Cybercrime – criminal activity dependent on or enabled by computers – poses an ever-evolving threat to our national security, economic interests, public safety, and societal trust. In this course, we will explore how we distinguish cybercrime from other criminal and non-criminal activities that use computers, the current cybercrime threat landscape, and how the U.S. government, international institutions, and non-governmental actors have adopted different strategies and policies to disrupt, dismantle, and deter cybercrime, whether committed by lone wolfs, organized criminal groups, or nation-state actors.
