Recent Journal of Criminal Law & Criminology issue focuses on cybercrime

Volume 103, Issue 3 of the Journal of Criminal Law & Criminology, a student-run publication at Northwestern University School of Law, features a variety of articles tackling the complexities of cybercrime. The issue is the culmination of a Symposium held at Northwestern University on February 1, 2013. As the Symposium Editor, Lily Katz, states in her Forward, the Symposium intended to address the "important conceptual, doctrinal, and empirical legal questions" raised by cybercrime.

The issue features a great line-up of authors addressing a variety of topics. For instance, Professor David Thaw, a visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Connecticut School of Law, "examines the tension" between the two differing viewpoints on "whether private contracts, such as website terms of use or organizational acceptable use policies should be able to define the limits of authorization and access for purposes of criminal sanctions under the CFAA." The piece authored by Professor Derek Bambauer, an Associate Professor at the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law, takes a somewhat broad look at the interests of privacy and security. Professor Bambauer argues that "security and privacy can, and should, be treated as distinct concerns" and that "separating privacy from security has important practical consequences."
