Look at the criminological, psychological, sociological, and anthropological factors behind cyber crime.
What motivates cyber criminals? How can we better prevent victimisation? The more we interrogate these types of questions, the better we can manage and get ahead of cyber threats.
Whether you’re looking to upskill or re-stream into the cyber industry, you’ll gain the skills and knowledge to make your mark in analysis, intelligence, law enforcement, security, or research roles.
In this field of study, you'll learn how to:
- focus on the human side of cyber crime and cyber security, and employ human-centred analysis to cyber crime and cyber security problems, and
- examine the motivations, methods, behaviours, and beliefs underpinning cyber crime offending, victimisation, and responses.
