1. What role does criminological theory play in cybersecurity operations? In other words, how does our understanding of cybercriminals and their motivations help us in preventing cybercrimes?
2. Using Routine Activities Theory, explain how guardianship can be applied to cyberspace. What are the challenges?
3. Is it important for local law enforcement agencies to get involved in cybersecurity operations, prevention, and response? Why or why not? Discuss the challenges if any.
