UMPD Community Police Academy

The University of Maryland Police Department is having a Community Police Academy starting February 8th, concluding on April 19th with a graduation ceremony.  It will take place each Wednesday night at their Training Facility and it is open to all who live, work, or attend school in College Park.  Information about the class and the application are on the UMPD website. Applications are due by February 1, 2017.   

The idea of the class is to be an informal setting that will encourage conversation among participants and police officers.  Participants will be introduced to the academic and practical aspects of a police academy and will become familiar with such topics as traffic law, crime scene investigations, and criminal law.  There will also be an opportunity to participate in a ride-along with an officer.  The academy experience will also include practical exercises and scenarios faced by police officers.  This will be a unique experience to bring together, in a non-confrontational, learning environment, an array of citizens who will be encouraged to express their thoughts openly and honestly.

Spring 2017 CCJS 418B Course Description

CCJS418B Seminar in Criminology and Criminal Justice: Cyber Investigations

Prerequisite: CCJS100, CCJS105        Th  4:00PM – 6:45PM

 

Cybercrime research has grown in visibility and importance during the last two decades. Nevertheless, despite the growing public interest in cybercrime and its consequences for businesses and individuals, only scant attention has been given in the criminological discipline to investigation and understanding of this new type of crime. The purpose of this course is to introduce students with the technical, social and legal aspects of cybercrime as well as expose students to theories and tools that enable scientific exploration of this phenomenon.

In the first few weeks of the semester we will learn about the computer and the internet, and discuss several definitions and typologies of cybercrime. Then we will discuss the hacker, the victim and the IT manger, review various theories of crime causation, and assess the relevance of these theories in the context of cyber space. We will then describe several technical tools that allow the collection of data from the Internet. We will conclude with a discussion on the legal issues affected and created by online crime.
