Criminal Justice Scholarly Paper

The U.S. Department of Justice’s organizational structure changed after 9/11/01. One section
that was added is the Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section of the Criminal Division
of the Department of Justice. Combatting cybercrime has implications that concern whether law
enforcement must disregard some Constitutional rights to protect Americans. Some of these
issues concern privacy laws and electronic surveillance.

propose suggestions you recommend to encourage law enforcement and lawmakers to protect
Constitutional rights of Americans while continuing to fight cybercrime.
