Content
The unit will focus on the contexts shaping emerging forms of cybercrime, and will critically evaluate digital enforcement responses with particular attention to the overall impacts on the constitution of ‘cybersecurity’ as a vital social good. A number of internet-related vulnerabilities and an expansion of different forms of cybercrime are increasingly recognised as posing serious challenges for the security and safety of government, businesses, and communities. At the same time, law enforcement agencies are concerned that secure internet technologies can facilitate criminal behaviour beyond their traditional remits, and new policing measures are needed to meaningfully engage in ‘digital’ law enforcement. Many of these practices transcend both public-private and domestic-international jurisdictional boundaries, and as such, they exploit profound gaps in conventional modes of regulatory governance. This unit interrogates the fundamental contradiction between domestic laws to deal with transnational data/information flows, the provision of legal and administrative oversight, or compliance with international data management treaties.
