Welcome to Dark Web Criminology. In this course, you will be introduced to the ecosystem of technologies, communities and criminal activity that make up what is commonly referred to as the Dark Web. We will start with a foundation of important terminology and concepts, then we will explore some of the most well-documented use cases of the dark web -- the good, the bad and the neutral -- and explore the current legal framework around the dark web. To put all this into context, the class will participate in a 4-week mock trial, with students playing the role of a prosecution team, a defense team, and a jury. Please note, this exercise will require real time collaboration with your assigned team; see the curriculum for further details. We will round out the course with a philosophical debate about the dark web and a look at how it might evolve in the near future.
