A double-edged sword: the potential benefits and risks associated with the use of online platforms in fighting crime. Written by: Dille Wienese

  "Technology is a tool that can allow us to create a better future, but it is not a silver bullet." -        Tim Cook, CEO of Apple Inc.   On the 18 th of March 2019, the Netherlands was shaken by a devastating attack that occurred on a tram in Utrecht. The incident resulted in the loss of four lives and left several others injured or traumatized. The perpetrator, Gökmen T., was apprehended on the same day after a manhunt and has been sentenced to life in prison (Korvinus, 2021). Following the attack, the danger level was raised to an unprecedented level of 5, which is the highest level possible. Meanwhile, group chats of my family and friends started circulating pictures of possible suspects, hints, and motives of the shooter. Although I did not think much of it then, I now realize that such speculation can have dire consequences for innocent individuals suspected of a crime. Afterward, an innocent man who was detained in connection with the Utrecht incident spoke out that

The struggle of combating child pornography through public policing. Written by: Amandine Ducros

  The rise of child pornography in the modern era     The new growth of information technology has introduced a new form of criminality to the criminal justice system : cyber crime (Marcum, Higgins, Freiburger & Ricketts, 2010). Cyberspace has no physical geography, no territorial boundaries exist (Wells, 2000). Cyber child porn, like cyber crime, is difficult to control because by its very nature its disrespects national boundaries ( Schell, Martin, Hung, & Rueda , 2 007 ), making the task of the police force even more complicated. Indeed, information communication technology facilitates abuse and exploitation of children online, especially child pornography (Jalil, 2015). Child pornography can be defined as the sexually explicit pictures or films involving younger people under the age of 18  (Marcum, Higgins, Freiburger & Ricketts, 2010) and is available on the Internet in many different formats : pictures, videos, sound files, stories (Burk, Sowerbutts, Blundell, 2002)

Ethical Hacking: An Oxymoron or Effective Solution? Written By: Renée Guinée

The Security Deficit and How We Got Here With the rapid advancement of technology, cybercrime is a major and developing criminal justice consideration. The extra-jurisdictional nature of the internet and accessibility of global digital communication adds an international element to the investigation of cybercrimes, which is sometimes beyond the scope of national criminal justice authorities (Brants et al., 2020). The heavy presence of digital devices in society poses significant challenges for law enforcement agencies. The increasing use of new technologies in the criminal realm often means that traditional public policing services do not have the resources to combat this type of crime. We are living in an age where the threats we are facing are developing quicker than our means to fight them can keep up with.           The structural and cultural limitations of traditional policing agencies have resulted in a security deficit in the online world. This means that crimes happening onlin
