Criminal Victim Studies Discussion Board 5
Computer technology has provided the criminal justice system with a number of benefits such as program algorithms that identify scanned fingerprints and facial recognition. It has increased intelligence and record keeping capabilities. However, it has provided literally millions of potential victims of crime. It started out with financial crimes (such as fraud and ransom software), and it progressed to coaxing victims to locations for murder, rape, and kidnapping. Victims of computer crimes include the criminal using social media as a weapon.
The commander of a newly formed cyber-crime unit is very knowledgeable about fraud and various financially motivated viruses. The one thing he is not that familiar with is the impact that social media has on victims of crimes such as cyber bullying and cyber stalking.
The commander has you temporarily attached from the human trafficking and sex crimes unit to bring his cyber teams up to date on how to understand what cyber victims of stalking and bullying are going through and how best to approach them for maximum effective investigation.
Devise a plan on explaining the aspects of cyber bullying and cyber stalking to the cyber-crime unit.

Writing Assignment #1: Considering Restorative Justice,
After reading Howard Zehr’s The Little Book of Restorative Justice, please consider how this model might operate in your jurisdiction. What strengths and limitations do you see in this model? What obstacles might there be in implementing this model? Specifically, consider a case which you believe might have better outcomes if it had gone through the restorative, rather than the retributive process (you can choose a case which you are familiar with through the media or through personal experience). Explain what complexities in the case you believe would be a consideration, and why you think this case may have been a better fit than in the traditional, adversarial model. 2-3 pages.
Please directly cite the material (using in-text citations) in your response, using specific examples to make your point and support your position.
If you do not know how to use citations, refer to the guide “APA The Easy Way,” see me, or visit the Academic Enrichment Center (see info later in the syllabus on AEC).
