The unit was previously known as PICX840 Cyber Crime and Cyber Policing
Cybercrime refers to an array of criminal activity including offences against computer data and systems, computer-related offences, content offences, and copyright offences. While early computer hackers were more interested in youthful exploration, modern cybercrime is increasingly about criminal profit and this is reflected in the involvement of transnational organised crime groups. This subject will provide students with detailed understanding about the different types of cybercrime, the perpetrators, and investigation techniques.
