Cybercrime: Nature and Extent

Section II includes four modules: (1) privacy and data protections, (2) sophisticated cyber-criminal organizations, (3) interpersonal cybercrime, and (4) computer facilitated white-collar crime. The goal of these four modules is to develop an understanding of the diverse nature of cybercrime. From the individual level of analysis to the institutional, matters of privacy, law, and enforcement are reviewed. Attention is given to exploring the extent of cybercrime through the examination of government, NGO, and private data sets.
