Breaking the Cycle: The Role of Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics in Mitigating Recidivism and Protecting Vulnerable Youth
This presentation explores how cybersecurity and digital forensics are vital tools in combating reoffending, particularly in cases of child exploitation. We will examine how offenders leverage technology—such as encrypted communications and the dark web—to repeat their crimes, and highlight the challenges faced by law enforcement in detecting and preventing these activities. Outlining the emphasis on proactive cybersecurity measures, including AI-driven monitoring and secure online environments, help identify potential offenders early. We will also details how digital forensics plays a crucial role in gathering evidence, analyzing behavioral patterns, and disrupting offending networks. Through case studies and real-world examples, we will illustrate the power of technological collaboration in safeguarding vulnerable youth and breaking the cycle of recidivism. Ultimately, it advocates for continued innovation, investment, and ethical use of technology to protect our communities and prevent future offenses.
