“…26 Educational opportunities for criminal justice students interested in seeking these positions are often limited as many universities do not offer inter-disciplinary programs that include criminal justice in their cybersecurity programs. 13 Additionally, the type of education provided to students varies between programs with some offering degrees in cybersecurity 27,28 with extensive lab training to some university's offering only a single class in cybersecurity. 29 A university cyber-lab offers criminal justice students the unique opportunity to learn from real-world practitioners carrying out digital forensic investigations working with their university.…”

“…11,12 Furthermore, many universities have yet to respond to the increasing demand for trained cyber security experts with a background in criminal investigation policies and procedures. 13 Taken together, the development of a university based cyber-lab housed in a criminal justice department can serve the multi-purposes of investigation, training, and education to criminal justice practitioners, community partners and students alike.…”

Law enforcement agencies face increasing backlogs in their digital evidence processing. Most agencies utilize federal or private companies to process this evidence, however, recently, universities have begun to establish their own cyber forensics labs to aid law enforcement in reducing the time it takes for them to obtain digital evidence. Specifically, examiners in these labs use digital investigation and analysis techniques to determine what could be legally permissible evidence on devices ranging from computers to cell phones to cameras. This paper is the first to provide a general overview of one university's experience in building a cyber‐forensics lab from the ground up for the purpose of providing services to community partners as well as educational and training opportunities. We utilize data obtained from 59 Texas law enforcement agencies to explore the needs and abilities of law enforcement in processing digital evidence as a supporting argument for the development of a university cyber‐lab.

“…(Brown et al, 2018) Cybercrime is a term that refers to criminal activity with computers or computer networks into tools, targets, or places where crime is included in cyber crimes including online auction fraud, check counterfeiting, credit card fraud/carding, Confidencefraud, identity fraud, and child pornography. (Nodeland et al, 2019;Wahid & Labib, 2005). Online crime is also called cybercrime since the attacker uses unique cyberspace information (Bossler & Berenblum, 2019) Cybercrimes can be classified into different categories, including cybertrespass (e.g., unauthorized system access), cyberdeception/theft (e.g., identity theft, online fraud, digital piracy), cyber-porn/obscenity (e.g., child sexual exploitation materials), and cyber-violence (e.g., cyberstalking; cyber terrorism) (Hansen et al, 2019).…”

This study explores the community learning centers' effort in improving the community's information literacy to prevent cybercrime during the pandemic era through an empirical examination of the phenomenon of pandemic COVID 19 social impacts in the specific context of Indonesia. The study used a simple research design approach with the case study method. The subject of this study consisted of five Community Learning Center’s managers from Cimahi District (CLC Nurul Islam Al Husna), Garut District (CLC Ngejah), East Jakarta District (CLC Faradika), and Karawang District (CLC Ash Sholahiyah and CLC Sanggar Juang), and two community education experts from Indonesia. Data were analyzed using triangulation, including extensive interviews from five community learning center's managers, interviews with community education experts, as well as secondary data. The study found that community learning center's efforts consist of conducting virtual socialization and also mentoring the community on information literacy, revitalizing parenting education on guiding children during their screen time, activating community reading center to create a lively discussion, and fostering community's critical thinking and information assessment. The contribution of this study to the literature on community education consists of presenting empirical evidence on the real contribution of Community Learning Center in improving the community's information literacy level while preventing the wide spreading of cyber-crime during the pandemic COVID 19 era.
