Peters, Allison, and Amy Jordan. Countering the Cyber Enforcement Gap: Strengthening Global Capacity on Cybercrime. Third Way, 2019. JSTOR, http://www.jstor.org/stable/resrep20150. Accessed 14 Oct. 2022.
This article argues that countries should work together to understand better how to combat cybercrime through law enforcement and industry-level mechanisms. They also suggest that more training and education should be emphasized to combat cybercrime. In the past decade, the threat posed by cybercrime has increased exponentially. The Internet has made it easier for organized crime groups to profit from hacking and extortion. This is especially true for companies in developing countries that lack the resources to protect themselves against such attacks.
The article argues that while law enforcement has made strides in cybercrime regulation, there remains a gap between what countries can and want to do. The authors argue that this gap is a result of a lack of coordination on a global scale—which they say could be addressed by creating a common set of standards for how states should regulate cybercrime. In addition, even large companies that have the resources to defend themselves against cybercrime are often unable to do so because of a lack of expertise or knowledge about how to prevent attacks in the first place.

The authors discuss how law enforcement agencies can combat this trend by enforcing current laws and updating their tactics to include technology. For example, they recommend that law enforcement agencies purchase body cameras to record interactions with criminals on video, which will help them build cases against criminals who are caught committing crimes online. However, there are many challenges when enforcing laws regulating cybercrime through law enforcement mechanisms alone. First, there are few incentives for law enforcement agencies (LEAs) to take on cases involving computer hacking or other forms of intellectual property theft because they receive no direct benefit from doing so (Holt 20). Second, LEAs often lack accurate data on what types of crimes are taking place online because they do not have access to information about these activities. The article outlines three ways law enforcement agencies can tackle cybercrime: international cooperation, domestic legislation, or industry-led initiatives. While the author acknowledges that some level of international cooperation is necessary to enforce laws, he notes that relying solely on cooperation will not be enough if we want our laws to impact crime rates.

Bellasio et al. assess whether or not technological developments have affected the future of cybercrime. They argue that it's important because technology plays an essential role in cybercrime. The authors find that technological advancements have resulted in more efficient methods of cybercrime and that those methods are used by criminals to commit more crimes. This article argues that technological developments will make it easier for law enforcement agencies and businesses to identify suspicious activity online. They also believe that technology will allow companies to better protect their networks from hackers who try to steal information from them by using tactics like phishing scams or malware attacks.
The authors believe technological advances have increased criminals' reliance on computers and software. They also state that new technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning will likely be increasingly crucial for cybercriminals and law enforcement officers who must track down these criminals. As a result, there will be an increased amount of resources available to cyber criminals. This can be seen through the rise in computer computing power and storage capacity, which allows for more processing power and memory use by criminals.
