📌 1️⃣ What “Living in the IT Era” really means for them

You’re not turning them into programmers.

You’re opening their eyes to:

• How IT affects crime (cybercrime, digital forensics, surveillance, digital evidence)
• How IT affects investigations (databases, CCTV, body cams, digital trails)
• How they can protect themselves (data privacy, social engineering, personal cybersecurity)
• How they can adapt as the world keeps changing (AI, digital records, deepfakes)

📌 2️⃣ Why this matters

Criminology students need to understand that:

• Criminals use tech.
• Police use tech.
• Evidence lives in tech.
• Their own careers will rely on digital tools, reports, and secure communication.

So — you’re not teaching random IT. You’re teaching 21st-century survival & smart policing.

📌 3️⃣ How you can deliver it

✅ A. Make it real

• Don’t bury them in technical jargon.
• Use real news, real case studies, real tools.
