The Achievement And Success Of Cyber Crimes

Technology has enhanced within the years into solving complex crimes using efficient techniques or tools conducted by a special task force to protect against possible undesirable events. For example, cyber-crime is through the use of computers and information systems that potentially access another’s computer without authorization that may have a corruptive effect, especially on the mind downloading illegal material used for personal gain emphasizing necessity. However, the technological communication efforts are databases built to conduct special task force assessments to stay current with the ongoing criminal activities that develop the usage of the technological information systems without authorization. These databases affect the communicating of information in a way to move faster and efficiently to conduct the arrest of a suspect, to obtain warrants, and to locate a criminal. In addition, the databases provide factual information to conduct further investigations and apprehensions helping the worldwide justice system to become more effective giving those faster results by means of communicating through the new innovative database technological systems. The cyber-crime unit will conduct an extensive investigation through the usage of the new

The rapid growth of the internet has made it easier to commit traditional crimes by providing criminals an alternate method for launching attacks with relative anonymity. Effects of such technology has been great but , with the

The main difficulties that the police agencies face during the online crime investigation include the multi jurisdictions, obtaining the warrant for search and seize, anonymity, significant amount of data, and consistently evolving technologies and techniques(Wall, 2012). Specifically in the online predators crime, the idea of obtaining a warrant is the most critical difficulty the police agencies have. Similarly to other actual physical criminal cases such as murder or assault, the key component in conducting the successful investigation is to identify and obtain the actual evidences that can prove the offense(Power, 2013). However in terms of the cyber crimes, most evidences are contained in the actual computer itself, which, it explains that the

The agencies employed by governments to police the web in order to protect the vulnerable have seen an increase in child pornography and online fraud. The speed at which information can be distributed and the number of people that can be reached attracts those that are intent on causing harm. The term “cybercrime” is becoming more widely used. The financial gains that can be made and the anonymity the internet can provide, make the virtual world of cyberspace a haven for criminals. Although the internet has huge benefits for information gathering and social networking, in the wrong hands it can cause harm to the vulnerable and criminals are able to vanish into the underground with the use of false identities that are hard to track online.

At the beginning of the second millennium, an era of information society, based on the increasing use of computers, computer technology, information technology, making available "everything to everyone, everywhere and always" very urgent problem of improving the legislation in the fight against various kinds of offenses in this area, and first of all crimes. Currently, computer crime, has acquired an international dimension, is already receiving an adequate assessment of the international community, in particular, is reflected in a special Convention on Cybercrime, signed in 2001 in Budapest, representatives of 30 countries, members of the Council of Europe. The scale of a virtual crime using the internet in the US can be seen from the following

Cyber crime and traditional crime have similar identifiable traits when criminal activity is the outcome. The goal of any criminal is to cause harm, threat steal, extortion, to name a few with intent to harm the public good. Local and state law prosecutes traditional crimes through the state attorney. The prosecutor represents the people(entity) of the state. The defendant or the entity charged must prove to the state, by reasonable doubt, their innocent’s of the charges. Individuals that are charged with a crime have the option of hearing their case in front of a judge or a jury. The prosecution can also offer the defendant a plea bargain deal. These deals usually lessen the punishment while also rendering a guilty verdict

The internet has brought upon a new revolution of global interconnection where contacting someone on the other side of the world is just a click away, but with this international phenomenon comes an increased susceptibility with unfamiliar technology. Internet crime is compiled of all non-physical crime with the aid of a computer. Although broad in definition internet crimes are largely composed of acts such as cyber fraud, ‘phishing’ (username and password hacking), cyber stalking and hacking. Internet crime does not pose an overwhelming issue in society in terms of its

One important issue a cyber stalking that many criminal justice courts as jurisdiction issues because it’s hard to place boundary is and what is considered to be cyberspace. Due to the lack of knowledge of the cyberspace world it makes it difficult for criminal justice systems to set laws to unknown concept. Fidelie (2011) asserts with access to Internet ready computers and anatomy of cyberspace cyber stalking is easy to commit while it is difficult to collect computer evidence of cyber stalking making it difficult to investigate cyber stalking

Qualified candidates are limited since, for those investigating or examining cyber-crime must be highly trained specialists, requiring detective and technical skills, including knowledge of various IT hardware and software, and forensic tools. Nevertheless, in the modern world computer or computer related crime makes up a great amount of percentage of all the crimes happiness which is bound to increase. The Office for Victim Assistance ensures that victims of crimes investigated by the FBI are presented the opportunity to receive the services and notification as required by federal law guidelines

In accordance with many decades of cyber evolution, a cybercrime is shown in different ranges of crimes, which depend on the spread of technology and law. From the introduction of computer in the 1960s to the rise of personal computer in 1980s, cybercrime began to appear. The crimes can vary from piracy of software to patent-related crimes. This caused a surge in the introduction of relevant legislation in many countries and international organizations involved. In late 1990s, when Internet and transnational crimes were born, the international community cooperated in many instances such as the passing of the UN General Assembly Resolution 45/121 in 1990 and the manual for the prevention and control of computer-related crimes issued in 1994. Despite all the

Today is the era of technology and globalisation, as it connects the whole world together but also opens new ways to crime. Cyber crime is the result of negative use of technology. Cyber crime refers to a crime which is committed through internet or computer. Cyber crime is of differenr types like stealing of money or information, piracy, electronic vendalism that is destroying or changing the electronic information. Cyber terrorism which threatens not only one single nation but the whole world. Cyber crime can be grouped into three main categories which are crime against a person which includes provocation through e-mail. Second one is against the property, this type of crime includes provocation and third one is across the government which involves hacking into government sites. Cyber crime is emerging as a huge threat for the people and rate of crime is increasing drastically. Government should implement laws in order to protect national security, economic prosperity and society.

Therefore in both cases the extent that the computer is used as a tool or instrument to commit a crime determines the proof of culpability. The actus reus of the computer crime is its content. Relating this to cybercrimes lies in the communication means through which the crime was committed that is; the internet and the connectivity of computers. Therefore the crime committed through the use of the internet connectivity, primarily qualifies the offence as if the offence concerned relates to tangible property. The definition of what constitutes a computer crime varies from country to country. There is no universally accepted definition . In practice the two similar category of crime have been treated as two separate form of crime. Some Commonwealth countries, follow the United Kingdom in legislating new laws to deal with computer crime and existing laws to deal with cybercrime and modifying the existing law to accommodate the ever evolving technological development and appropriate enforcement mechanisms. The modification of existing laws does not always occur at the same rate as the technology that facilitates the crime leading to ‘a lost in translation phenomenon’ making the new law either antiquated or inadequate for the crime for which it was initially modified to deal with.

In this crimes, the cyber-criminal use different technology in computers to have access to the personal data, use the exploitative or malicious web purposes.

Focus question: In what major ways is crime being committed in the world? How can they be countered?

“There are two kinds of people in America today: those who have experienced a foreign cyber attack and know it, and those who have experienced a foreign cyber attack and don 't know it.” (Frank Wolf). The world has become more connected today than ever before. The world’s technology is growing larger and the internet’s traffic is boosting. Major internet-related industries are doubling profits because of the online traffic. With all the wonderful and positive things about the Internet, there is a downside. Anyone using the internet is exposed to the security risks of being part of a large network. The world can now be referred to as the “Cyber Age.” Computer crime, also known as cybercrime is a crime conducted via the Internet or some other computer network. The computer can be used to perform the crime directly or indirectly or the computer might be the bull’s eye (the target). A cybercrime is performed for many reasons. This group of hackers are motivated by the huge number of people online at a given time and the hacker might target a single person or a group of individuals or even a whole nation. His motive is to harm the victim’s physical and mental state. Usually when doing a cybercrime, the internet is the sole means through which the hacker connects to the victim. This connection could be through emails, in a chat room, ads, etc.… These crimes could cause severe damage to the victim and even go as far as threatening a nation’s
