About the course 'Digital Crime'

The problem of digital crime goes far beyond the crimes committed on the Internet: nowadays, almost all crimes can leave digital traces. The Internet creates unique opportunities for criminal activities, and legislators are always chasing a moving target as they try to bring laws up to speed to address new online threats. Efforts to develop international solutions are slow and problematic. Nobody can expect governments and their agencies to fight digital crime alone, but what is the role of private industry and other stakeholders in this fight?

A critical review of existing knowledge and research is essential for making informed policy decisions to address the problem of digital crime. The course, therefore, focuses on the research skill of critical evaluation. Students will learn how to assess the validity of existing research by critically evaluating the way the knowledge was produced.

By critically reviewing existing academic research and applying it to current challenges faced by policymakers, legislators, private industry and other stakeholders in tackling the problem of digital crime, students will acquire comprehensive understanding of this complex phenomenon, related problems and possible solutions. In addition to lectures, the course will employ interactive learning, such as debates, serious games and group discussions combined with individual learning. Read more
