This course will explore the policy and law of computer crime and consider how "cybercrimes" are different from and similar to transgressive behavior in physical space. Topics will include electronic surveillance, cyberbullying, identity theft, computer hacking and cracking, espionage, cyberterrorism, and privacy.
