Assignment 1 – Policing Cybercrime

During this assessment, your task is to research and analyse the current challenges faced by Police when policing and prosecuting cybercrime in the form of a 2250-word report.

It is important to understand how a digital investigation is conducted and how prosecutions are carried out. You should consider what challenges exist at each of the stages of these processes including comparing and contrasting examples from other countries/research/analysis that you find to emphasise the points made and support this with references.

You should also ensure you describe challenges and any solutions at a technical level and contextualize the impacts of these from several perspectives including data, privacy, ethics, and response.

Your report must be supported by an appropriate reference base (cited list of references in IEEE format) of publicly available and credible sources. References do not count towards the 2250-word count
