Has anyone completed a cybercrime assignment at university (criminology)

I wanted advice on passing this assignment if anyone has done this please let me know.

These are the learning outcomes :

For your assignment, you have to write a Report (2000 words) on one of the current areas of Cybercrime in the UK, and how the UK
Government is dealing with that particular issue. You will choose a particular type of cybercrime, such as:
Cyber-stalking/cyber-harassment/cyberbullying,
Child grooming/Child pornography/ child sex abuse imagery
Extremist grooming /Radicalisation/White supremacists etc. /Incels/Misogynist groups etc.
Cyber- online Financial Fraud / Bank accounts/ websites
Political Hacking (e.g. fabrication, hoaxes, distortions, defamation, and social engineering).
Any other current issues on cybercrime.
After choosing the issue, the report should focus on three core areas after choosing the topic:
Explore the current debates, discussions, media, and public understanding and awareness of your chosen crime in the
form of a literature review;
Critically examine existing policies, laws, criminal justice interventions/responses, and research around the issue in the
UK. You will analyse existing laws/policies/interventions and look at the gaps.
Explore what other countries are doing on this issue and the best

You might find it helpful to approach your lecturer or tutor for guidance. Not only do you develop the skills to approach tjis and fiture assignments but they also understand your needs and how best to support you.
