Dr. Choi is the Program Director of Center for CIC at Boston University, where he oversees the graduate programs in Cybercrime Investigation and Cybersecurity (CIC). His goal is to foster research and training in the field of cybercrime and cybersecurity.


Using an interdisciplinary approach, the Center encourages collaboration between criminology and other cybercrime-related disciplines for developing effective cybercrime prevention strategies and practices. The Center intends to promote conference sessions pertaining to cybercrime issues for researchers and practitioners of crossing disciplinary boundaries via a rigorous exchange of ideas and information. Dr. Choi is currently offering cybercrime investigation training and cybercrime research-related workshops through the Center.


Dr. Choi has an established track record in designing and delivering law enforcement training programs in cybercrime investigation and advanced police technology. He is a founder of the Cybercrime Division at the American Society of Criminology (ASC) and the vice president of the Korean Society of Criminology in America (KOSCA). As an international cyber-criminologist, Dr. Choi has been invited as a guest speaker and a cybercrime expert for various national and international conferences including International Symposium on Cybercrime Response (ISCR), the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the INTERPOL, and the AMERIPOL X Summit.

He also conducts his own academic research, focusing on the intersection of human behavior and technology, and how criminal justice organizations can respond effectively to the challenges of cybercrime. In 2008, he proposed the Cyber-Routine Activities Theory (Cyber-RAT), which has become a predominant theory of computer-crime victimization. Dr. Choi’s work has appeared in numerous peer-reviewed journals, and his books include Digital Forensics and Cyber Investigation (2022); The Foundations of Statistics in Criminology and Criminal Justice (2020); Cibercriminología: Guía para la Investigación del Cibercrimen y Mejores Prácticas en Securidad Digital [Cybercriminology: Guide for Cybercrime Investigation and Best Practices in Digital Security] (2017); Cybercriminology and Digital Investigation (2015); and Risk Factors in Computer Crime (2010).


Dr. Choi is currently working on federally funded cybercrime- and cybersecurity-related projects with the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), and the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA).
