This course introduces students to the investigation and prosecution of “cybercrime” cases—cases in which criminals use computers to steal, cheat, or otherwise cause damage. The course blends doctrinal and policy discussion with practical exercises and input from other experts in the field.

Students should expect to learn what “cybercrime” is and to discuss current issues in the broad field, while also learning about the building blocks of taking a “cybercrime” case from investigation through prosecution and sentencing. No technical background is required for this seminar course.

Please Note: This course is also offered as part of the London Study Abroad Program.
