Kostadinov goes on to note that most cyberterrorism actions are generally focused on website sabotage and email blasting. In order to prove that the network breach was a terrorist attack the company would need to provide electronic evidence of these types of information warfare. Information warfare is a term often used interchangeably with cyberterrorism but provides a deeper understanding in the shift of how data has become fundamental to society. As governments, companies and people shift to the use of digital information so have the methods used to attack (Gilmer, 2001). In order to combat this aspect of terrorism, the military have adopted computer forensics as part of their defenses (Vacca & Rudolph, 2011).
Top management must make a commitment to defend against computer crime. Where would the law enforcement agency find expertise in the field of computer crime that they could use to assist with investigations? The National Institute of Justice’s National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center (NLECTC) are a resource for training and preparations for law enforcement agencies. CART-FBI Computer Analysis Response Team- helps in writing, serving search warrants, seizing and entering evidence, they do routine examination of digital evidence for local law enforcements and federal agents. Cyber Incident Detection and Data Analysis Center (CIDDAC) - help protect private sector networks with real time cyber attack detection sensors.
How can not knowing the proper terminology affect you as you conduct criminal justice research? If there is a misunderstanding of previous research, the results could reflect on an officers daily duties; such as, incident reports, investigations, negotiations, interviews, and interrogations. Researchese is a language of research that includes concepts and variables to represent operationalization and hypotheses in research. * If common terminology is not understood completely, it would be difficult to understand data collection regardless of how it was collected. To both understand research and conduct new research is it vital that each person involved understands the terminology associated with research and research techniques.
Among the Hidden has some significant political and social issues that we are experiencing in modern times. The first and most current issue is probably the issue of privacy. In the book we see that all households are being monitored for suspicious activity. The telephones and the internet are all being monitored for any activity by a third child. We see this issue arising with the introduction of the Patriot Act after 9/11.
Companies such as this are required not only legally, but ethically to protect the customers’ private information or be held accountable by law. It is also bad practice to allow this sensitive information to be disseminated and stolen by cyber criminals. Since this kind of data must be protected at all costs, certain regulations were put in place so that standards for information security could be monitored. One of these standards is that all personal information is to be encrypted when being sent over the internet and also on the servers. This will make it much harder for the hacker to access the information easily.
Technology and system changes Leshea Hicks Professor Stephanie Palmer-Phillips CRJ499 February 17, 2012 Technology has grown in the criminal justice system. Law enforcement added new systems to help track and apprehend suspects and wanted criminals. For example, some patrol cars have a fingerprinting devices, this device is used to run a persons prints through a nationwide database. This has led to apprehending illegal immigrants, individuals with warrants, and numerous criminal offenses. I want to discuss how technology has led to increased violence in our prison system and how we can implement current technology to control prison violence.
The community was in fear of another attack, they turned to the law enforcement community to provide reassurance that everything possible was being done to protect the community. The criminal justice system had to make changes to policies and procedures to ensure that future crimes of this nature will be better handled. Future Criminal Justice Trends Because technologies are constantly changing and upgrading, many future trends in criminal justice have presented. With the advancement of the computer and the World Wide Web, cyber-crimes have become more popular in the United States and around the world. A very common and hard to control issues that the United States and the world has had to contend with is identity theft.
One of the biggest problems in policing functions is lack of communication between agencies at the state, local, and federal area. It is important that the local police officer that is working on a case be able to get information from the federal level such as the FBI on the suspect. Sharing information that is important to a case is important no matter what level of law enforcement you are working in. If the information is not shared it can put an officer of the laws life in danger. Another change that affects the future of Policing functions is technology.
The public needs to get involved more in changing what we all should see are flaws that still remain in the system. The 2004 Crime Victims’ Rights Act started to change the way the courts deal with the victim to a crime. It also opened the door for states to offer further protection to the victims as well. The issues still seem to be with the victim impact statements and what is permissible in court to be heard. The victims aren’t a recognizable party in the sense of a court proceeding.
(12Fe3) (12Fe4)To assist in this effort the Justice Department created a new agency, the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (the COPS Office), to develop, administer, and supervise new grant programs resulting from the act. By 2002, COPS had awarded grants to law enforcement agencies to hire over 116,000 community police officers, purchase crime fighting technology, and support innovations in policing. More than 12,000 law enforcement agencies have received COPS funding. COPS has also trained more than 130,000 law enforcement officers and community members through a network of Regional Community Policing Institutes and Community Policing Consortium. A key element of community policing is an emphasis on crime prevention.
