Order Description
answers must be doubled-space with one-inch vertical and horizontal margins, and written
page limit for the answer, although there is no page limitation, I recommend that the
answer for each question be at least 1 page since it will allow you to address each sub-question
and provide enough supporting information.
To earn a higher score, each answer should address all the questions asked and provide relevant
definitions and examples when possible. Make sure you address and discuss each of the questions and
sub-questions academically and analytically and provide supporting information.
Each of your answers must be supported by information from the course TEXTBOOK and
OUTSIDE SOURCES. Only I will accept peer-reviewed journal articles, law review articles,
scholarly books, research reports or white papers published by government agencies as
OUTSIDE SOURCES for the exam answers. (Magazines, newspaper articles, encyclopedias, or
any summary articles on the Internet will not be acceptable).
Final Exam Questions:
1) Define what is cyberbullying, and describe how it different from real-world bullying. What
are the characteristics of the cyberbullying victims and offenders? How is anonymity in the
Internet related to the cyberbullying victimization and offenses?
2) Compare and contrast Akers’ social learning theory and Agnew’s general strain theory to predict cybercrime and cyber-deviant behaviors. What are the similarities
and differences
between social learning theory and general strain theory to explain criminal and deviant behaviors in cyber space?
3) Identify potential sources of digital evidence. Outline and explain the process used to preserve the verifiable integrity of digital evidence.
4) Describe the impact that digital crimes are likely to have in the future. How is the hacker community changing with the spread of the Internet? What are the reasons
why cyber victimization is likely to increase or decrease in the future?
