This document discusses challenges related to tracking and apprehending cyber-stalkers through technology. It notes that a cyber-stalker could harass a victim from anywhere in the world, creating jurisdictional issues for law enforcement. It also states that determining appropriate penalties for cyber-stalking is difficult as the emotional damage from stalking is hard to assess. The document asks students to consider how law enforcement could use technology to track cyber-stalkers, challenges they may face, and penalties for cyber-stalking in their state or country.
Crime mapping can be used by law enforcement to analyze where future crimes may occur and allocate resources accordingly. It can also help identify likely suspects based on geographic crime data. While crime mapping provides benefits like these for law enforcement, it also presents challenges. Law enforcement must evaluate both the benefits and challenges of using this technology to determine if they should utilize crime mapping.

1. Application: Technology and Cyber-Stalking
Application: Technology and Cyber-StalkingApplication: Technology and Cyber-
StalkingRapidly advancing technologies present both challenges to and solutions for law
enforcement. One challenge related to the tracking and apprehension of cyber-stalkers
revolves around jurisdiction. A cyber-stalker could harass you from around the block,
another state, or across the world. This creates jurisdictional issues that must be taken into
consideration when new legislation is developed related to cyber-stalking. Another
challenge is determining the appropriate penalty for cyber-stalking. Stalking is a crime that
leaves emotional scars, which can make the damage difficult to assess.CLICK HERE TO
ORDER YOUR ASSIGNMENTAs criminals use technology in new ways for cyber-stalking, law
enforcement agencies use technology in new ways for tracking and apprehending cyber-
stalkers. Many of the larger law enforcement agencies have computer crime units and
receive training from cyber-forensics professors. Application: Technology and Cyber-
StalkingFor this assignment, think about ways law enforcement might use technology to
track and apprehend cyber-stalkers. Consider challenges law enforcement might face in
tracking the behavior of cyber-stalkers. Then review penalties for engaging in cyber-
stalking behavior in your state or country of residence. Think about the degree to which the
penalties are adequate for penalizing cyber-stalkers.The Assignment (2–3 pages)Describe
three ways law enforcement might use technology to track and apprehend cyber-
stalkers.Explain at least two challenges law enforcement may face in tracking the behavior
of cyber-stalkers.Explain penalties for engaging in cyber-stalking behavior in your state or
country of residence.Explain whether the penalties you identified are adequate for
penalizing cyber-stalkers or not.READINGSCourse Text: Taylor, R. W., Fritsch, E. J., &

from http://www.haltabuse.org/resources/lawsYou must proofread your paper. But do not
strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so
indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly.
Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read
over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as
necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious
errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.Use a standard 10
to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers
with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over
the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise,
large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space
between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at
“padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not
fool your professor.The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch
margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to
use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be
hard to follow your argument.ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASSDiscussion
Questions (DQ)Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions
asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words.Successful
responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the
discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source.One or two
sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are
off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words.I
encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your
responses.Weekly ParticipationYour initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count
toward participation and are graded separately.In addition to the DQ responses, you must
post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three
replies.Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite
someone else’s work).Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly
announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are
made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.APA Format and
Writing QualityFamiliarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is
used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student
Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation
examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA
format (if required).Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source.
Paraphrasing also requires a citation.I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual,
3. 6th edition.Use of Direct QuotesI discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and
assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly.As Masters’ level students,
it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal
articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate
an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content.It is best to paraphrase
content and cite your source.LopesWrite PolicyFor assignments that need to be submitted
to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI)
percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me.Once you have received your report,
please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors
that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off
for these mistakes.Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not
paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your
own?Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in
LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.Late PolicyThe university’s policy
on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ
replies.Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I
am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension
based on extenuating circumstances.If you do not communicate with me before submitting
an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect.I do not accept assignments that are
two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension.As per policy, no
assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after
midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for
grading.CommunicationCommunication is so very important. There are multiple ways to
communicate with me:Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course
content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your
peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class.Individual Forum: This is a private
forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24
hours.
