Cybercrime, Crime Mapping, and Foreseeability Analysis of Crime Events and Human Trafficking
Michael Bachmann
Associate Professor, Criminal Justice
Texas Christian University
"Information technologies have become ubiquitous, and we all depend on their correct functioning for almost every aspect of our lives. We need to ensure that we retain control over their functioning and integrity, and use them to help address some of our most pressing societal problems."
Bachmann is associate professor of criminal justice, the department's internship director, and the editor-in-chief of The Journal of Technology and Crime. His research spans all facets of the intersection of high technology and the law, ranging from computer hacker subcultures and ethics to the facilitation of crime investigations through geospatial mapping applications. He is the author of several book chapters and articles on cybercrimes such as Internet piracy, fraud, espionage, malicious code releases, and the use of Internet technology by human trafficking and terrorist organizations. His work has been translated and published for international audiences in four languages.

Factors Impacting the Digital Textbook Market
Kate Worlock
VP & Lead Analyst

As VP and lead analyst, Worlock leads Outsell's coverage and research of education information solutions in all areas of the education marketplace, including K-12, higher education, professional training, and human capital management. Over the past two years, her reports have delivered market sizing data on sub-segments such as digital textbooks, English Language Teaching (ELT) resources, and big data solutions in education. In addition, she has investigated the value chain for the provision of information-related solutions into education markets and analysed the impact of phenomena such as Massively Open Online Courses (MOOCs), gamification, and open educational resources (OERs). Worlock serves as an executive-level advisor and consultant to Outsell's education-focused clients on issues such as new market entry, product development, and digital growth strategies. In addition, she covers the education and training information segment's financial performance and benchmarks. She has served on the Content Division Board of the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) and on the board of the Data Committee of the PPA's Business Media Group (formerly the UK Data Publishers Association, or DPA).
