One of the effects of the expansion of technology is a greater opportunity for cybercrime. Cybercrime is committed through the use of technology and can be both legal and illegal. However, both ways include a victim to these crimes. A form of cybercrime that can be legal is cybercrime from a deviance perspective (Cybersecurity and Criminal Justice: Exploring the Intersections, P.2). This includes situations where the cybercriminal is someone who goes against what is considered normal in a society.  Another form of legal cybercrime includes workplace deviance. This includes an employee breaking company policies, such as using company phones for personal use or for using personal phones when they are prohibited. In a situation like this, the victim would be the one who went against workplace policies and committed these cybercrimes because they would be the ones facing penalties for it. 

 Illegal forms of cybercrime can include the use of cyber technology to Cyberbully or harass their victim. Different states have different laws, even if there aren’t specific laws that pertain to Cyber Technology, there might still be laws that include a broader sense. Cyberbullying and cyber harassment involve an offender using cyber technology to intimidate, threaten, stock, or harassed they’re targeted victim

These are only a few out of many types of cybercrimes and ways cybertechnology impacts interaction between cyber criminals and victims.
