Hello class,Some of the biggest problems facing the criminal justice system in the area of computer crimes are the rate at which technology is advancing, jurisdictional issues, anonymity, gap in skills, and resource constraints. Technology has been advancing at such a rapid pace that it becomes more and more difficult for law enforcement and the criminal justice system to keep up with understanding how cybercrimes are committed as well as developing strategies to prevent them. Since computer crimes are able to cross national borders, jurisdiction will always be an issue when it comes to investigating cybercrimes. Tracing malicious activities back to the source can be extremely difficult, especially if the attackers are using methods such as IP spoofing. The skills needed to properly investigate cybercrimes are hard to come by, which can lead to delays in investigations. Finally, investigating computer crimes is really resource-intensive. Law enforcement agencies might not have the resources necessary to conduct a proper investigation, especially in smaller jurisdictions or developing countries.I think the best way to prepare for the future of cybercrime is through education and training. Updates to laws and regulations should be done as well, since cybercrimes continue to evolve.. Proper funding and investing into technology will also help prepare for the worst!-James
