The cyber-crime may be done by using computer only, but this crime may be done very easily by using internet. Cyber crime or computer crime refers to any crime that involves a computer and a networks. Some authorities feel that the term cyber-crime is misnomer as this term is nowhere defined in any statutes or act enacted by the Parliament. In a sense is radically different from the concept of conventional crime in so far as both include conduct whether act or omission which causes breach of law and therefore, it is punishable by the state. It is not surely said that, from when the cybercrime was started but in 1999 at Tywan a virus was attracted named CIH, made the topic of cyber-crime familiar to the whole world. In the present time people become more dependent on computer and internet, as result, we can’t not think our daily activities without this technological help.

...The Impact of Technology on Law Enforcement and Organized Crime Impact of Technology on Law Enforcement and Organized Crime Organized crime involves the illicit flow of goods and services in one direction and the flow of the profits of crime in the other. Technology has created much change in the way organized crime groups conduct operations. It has also caused law enforcement organizations to evolve and use a variety of techniques and methods to effectively combat organized crime groups. In order for law enforcement to effectively target and prosecute these groups they must adapt as the organized crime groups have in their use of technology. Many operations run by organized crime groups and law enforcement organizations require the use of some type of technology. The dynamics of technology have made it an advantage for organized crime groups who use technology. But it can also be just as much an advantage for law enforcement organization so they can combat organized crime groups more effectively and efficiently. Globalization has also had a major impact on both law enforcement and organized crime with many organizations being able to operate through networks. This has created many issues such as jurisdiction which can be combated through the use of technology, communication, and effective legislation. Globalization Globalization is a term that describes the changes in societies and the world economy that are caused by the dramatic increased cross-border trade, investment...

...BIS/220 July 11, 2012 Alisha Johnson Abstract Policing Information Technology Over the past 30 years technology has advanced at an alarming rate. Since the inception of personal computers and the World Wide Web a need for individual protection occurred. Government reform was needed. In the 1980s two Acts of Congress were passed, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986. Initially we will examine the advances in technology that caused each Act to be passed. Last we will determine what new ethical issues came about from this new technology. Although some may see these Acts as an invasion of one’s right to privacy, they are essential to protect stored information from being used in a negative way. “A survey by an ABA task force in 1984 estimated that businesses and government agencies lose as much as $730 million a year to computer crime” (Wolf, 1986). Two years after this survey was published the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986. During this time computers are becoming widely used across the country. The major change is the type of information being stored. Financial institutions both in the private and government sectors are using computers to store valuable financial information. Computer hackers illegally could gain access to this information and sell it to individuals with the means to use it or vandalize the company’s system by inserting a virus. Basically a modern...

...4TH AMENDMENT TECHNOLOGY ISSUES in the 21st Century The Fourth Amendment says, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” There are a couple of areas that of a great concern to me concerning how the Fourth Amendment is written. The first is the use of cell phones by police under the “Search Incident Arrest” (SITA) doctrine. The second is the seizure of Computer Hard Drives for criminal Investigations. In Chimel v California (1969), the court ruled that if police arrest someone, they may search the body of the person without a warrant and “the area into which he might reach” in order to protect material evidence and the officers’ safety. The origin of the SITA doctrine states that police may search a suspect, and the area immediately surrounding the person, without a warrant during a lawful arrest. The case of Riley v California (2014) in which David Leon Riley was arrested on August 22, 2009, after a traffic stop and discovered loaded firearms in his car. The officer took Riley’s phone and searched through his phone and searched through his messages, contacts, videos and photographs. They charged him with an unrelated shooting that occurred several weeks prior to his arrest and was convicted...

...Global Crime Analysis Paper Jessica Cross CJA/394 October 20, 2013 Global crimes transcend national borders and threaten American citizens and communities, businesses, and institutions, as well as global security and stability. The classification of global crimes can be categorized according to if the behavior is international and constitutes a crime against the world, or if the act is transnational that affects the interests of more than one state (Global Solutions, n.d.). The contents of this essay will identify the various major global crimes and criminal issues that have a global impact on national and international justice systems and processes. In addition, the text will discuss the various international justice systems and how these global crimes and criminal issues are addressed. Fueled by open borders, global markets, and the advancement of telecommunications, international crime has become a rising universal problem. In 1995, President Clinton classified international crime as a danger to the national interest of the United States. Therefore, before and since then the federal government has been busy in a converging effort to address various major global crimes, such as human rights and war crimes, organized crime and narcotics, cybercrime, environmental crime, and terrorism (Global Solutions, n.d.). Human Rights and War Crimes are inhuman acts committed by an extensive or systematic attack aimed against individuals, such as genocide, crimes against...

...Computer Forensic Investigator’s Role in Cases Abstract Today, more and more people are using their computers for everything, from communication, to online banking and investing, to shopping. As we do these things on a more regular basis, we open ourselves up to potential hackers and attackers. While some may be looking to phish your personal or proprietary information and identity for resale, others simply just want to use your computer as a platform from which to attack other unknowing targets. The people responsible for computer security and digital forensic examination need to continually update their skills, tools and knowledge to stay abreast with fast growing technology of today. In this day and time you can no longer just unplug a computer and leave it to be evaluated later at the lab. Information that is on computers is so critical to the investigation of a case. Systems today can easily lose data just by unplugging and turning it off, making it hard to recover any evidence needed. Without policies and procedures, investigators, one wouldn’t know this, two would potentially destroy and corrupt any evidence admissible in court and the whole unit would be lost and a total failure. That is why it is important that management establish guidelines and procedures. Although with technology continuing to change, constant revisions will be made to these documents, but ensuring they stay updated is most crucial of all. Computer Forensic examiners and investigators have...

...loaded weapon in hand. A young boy steals a vehicle and drives recklessly causing severe harm to others. A young girl sets her house on fire with family members inside. What do these seemingly uncommon crimes have in common? Each juvenile in these examples has played violent video games. Our media that covers these violent crimes is quick to make that point known. Often times they also erroneously blame the playing of violent video games as the root cause of these crimes. Research suggests that violence in video games does not contribute to violence in today’s youth because juvenile crimes have declined as video game popularity has increased; they in fact provide an outlet to express aggression without causing physical harm, and juvenile violence has been more commonly linked to exposure of family violence. When looking at research from the FBI, crime rates involving juveniles over the past 30 years have declined. In fact, in most violent crime categories the crime rate among our youth is at an all-time low (Butts, J. 2013). At first, this information may be hard to believe. It shouldn’t however, because violence among youth commonly ends up making headline national news. For this reason, we end up being exposed to the details on many of these youth related violent crimes. This can make it difficult to put actual facts into perspective, and often times will lead to an incorrect analysis. There are some media outlets however that is able to put actual non biased facts...
