    In today's interconnected world, technology has become the backbone of our daily lives, reshaping how we communicate, work, shop, and even socialize. The digital age has brought immense progress, opening up unprecedented opportunities for individuals and businesses alike. However, with these advancements come new challenges, particularly the growing threat of cybercrime. As we rely more heavily on the internet for both personal and professional activities, the vulnerability of our digital infrastructure has become a pressing concern. 
      
    Cybersecurity is no longer a niche concern for IT professionals but a critical issue that impacts everyone. From personal data breaches to large-scale corporate hacks, the risks of cyber attacks are more real and damaging than ever. Hackers, cybercriminals, and even state-sponsored entities have the ability to infiltrate systems, steal sensitive data, and disrupt critical services. The consequences of these actions can range from financial loss to the erosion of privacy, and in some cases, even national security threats. 
      
    The rapid expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the growing adoption of artificial intelligence and cloud computing have only heightened the complexity of cybersecurity. As we continue to digitize more aspects of our lives, the attack surface—the points where cybercriminals can strike—has expanded significantly. The very technologies designed to improve our lives also provide new avenues for malicious actors to exploit. The security of everything from smartphones to medical devices, self-driving cars, and cloud storage systems is now in question.

    It reads like a modern day Lifetime movie: two talented, popular and wealthy men both fall in love with the same beautiful but somewhat tarnished girl. One had a long history of mental illness, the other was considered an architectural genius. The inevitable showdown, complete with a very public murder, took place in one of the most fashionable restaurants in the world. Although it reads like a movie or soap opera, it was an all too true story that culminated with the 1907 “trial of the century.” 
    There are few cases in American history as well known as Sacco and Vanzetti, and perhaps none of them were as controversial or socially charged as the trials against the two Italian immigrants in the early 20th century. The two avowed anarchists were ultimately tried and executed for murder and armed robbery, but the case said as much about the society trying them as it did about their guilt or innocence.  
    There has been no shortage of shocking crimes and trials that generated frenzied coverage across America, but few can lay claim to “crime of the century” like the murder carried out by Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb in 1924. While studying as young adults at the prestigious University of Chicago, Leopold and Loeb devised a meticulous plot to kidnap and murder a child while managing to get away with ransom money, thereby perpetrating what they considered a “perfect crime.” The crime was horrific enough, but the trial brought even more attention to the case, and it touched on several crucial issues. 
    Charles Lindbergh had spent the first 30 years of his life escaping multiple plane crashes, becoming a hero across the world, and starting a family, but his luck ran out in an awful way in March of 1932. Tragically, the other major life event associated with Charles Lindbergh besides his historic transatlantic flight was “the crime of the century.” On March 1, 1932, 20 month old Charles, Jr. was kidnapped right out of his crib.

    The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is no longer fit for purpose.
    		 
    Reflecting on his career in the RCMP from 1973 to 2003, Garry Clement recounts his childhood in rural Ontario; his RCMP training in Regina; his drug-bust days based in British Columbia, Montreal, and Toronto; his work battling the Chinese Communist Party’s infiltration of Canada; his role in the Parliament Hill bus hijacking; his involvement in the post–9/11 Maher Arar inquiry; his impact on the RCMP’s Proceeds of Crime program and on anti–money laundering in Canada and abroad; and his reasons for leaving the RCMP. Under Cover  provides a gripping and vulnerable inside look into the corruption of politics and policing in Canada.
    		 
    In light of the mounting complexities of transnational organized crime, terrorism, cybercrime, and financial crime, Clement calls for a complete revamping of the culture of federal policing. We need a fundamental structural reformation of the RCMP. Garry Clement offers direct recommendations for how to approach such a task.
