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.
For this paper, assume you are a policy maker in Washington, D.C. Outline the problem and propose
suggestions you recommend to encourage law enforcement and lawmakers to protect Constitutional
rights of Americans while continuing to fight cybercrime.
