Criminal Minds in Cyberspace: The Emerging Field of Cyber Forensic Psychology.

Abstract

Andra Boscy*

The digital age has ushered in a new frontier for criminal behaviour and investigation. Cyber forensic psychology is a burgeoning field that delves into the minds of cybercriminals, seeking to understand their motivations, behaviours, and the psychological factors that drive them to commit online offenses. This article explores the emerging field of cyber forensic psychology, highlighting its importance, key concepts, methodologies, and the challenges it faces. With an in-depth analysis of criminal minds in cyberspace, this article sheds light on the complex interplay of psychology and technology in the digital age. In the digital age, the dynamics of crime have evolved dramatically. Criminals no longer need to operate solely in the physical world; they can commit offenses from behind a computer screen, often with a veil of anonymity. This shift has given rise to the field of cyber forensic psychology, which seeks to understand the minds of cybercriminals and the psychological factors that drive their online offenses. This article explores the emerging field of cyber forensic psychology, its significance, methodologies, and the challenges it faces in unravelling the enigma of criminal minds in cyberspace.
