...It amazes me how easily someone can make false allegations and if it sounds "exciting" and the one making the false accusation is persistent to a point of driving law enforcement crazy with complaints they eventually listen. In conducting research on malicious websites, in particular those designed to harass, annoy and stalk - I found one site particularly disturbing. It attacked several people and one a couple in particular for a two year period. My research and those that assisted conduct our work legally and determined without a doubt the person responsible for the site. Unfortunately the individual who owns, administers, and posts to the site, also tracks this site with pretty elaborate spyware and monitoring of visitors. She was able back track one of my friends to a remote neighboring town. She further takes non credible information from other rogue sociapath she doesn't know to lay blame on who is tracking her. She manufactured evidence over a 14 month period why she maliciously stalked those she thought were browsing her site. The sociopath stalker responsible for the harassing sites has the nerve to file a complaint and somehow in our broken legal system, this individual was given the attention she thrives on. Rather than compromising the vast amount of details and evidence that proved the sociopath was responsible for hurting so many people through her malintented deeds, my good friend decided to take the fall and not compromise the investigation. ...

...Reason for Returning To School When I returned to school, I knew I wanted to become a law enforcement officer. Ever since, my cousin Rona Lisa was the victim of a domestic violence relationship during her marriage to a very jealous man. She could not walk down the street and speak to any other man without him thinking that she wanted to be with them. Life was hard enough, but after they had a daughter it seem to get worst for Rona. The abuse had gotten so bad that she had to be hospitalized from a beating that left her covered in bruises. Finally she have had enough and decided to leave. But it was not easy at all for Rona. Her husband Robert could not let go. He had stalked her for months. Seeing her run from this man and could not get help from any law enforcement agencies, she hid herself and her children in different places. When he found her, he threatens her to come home or he would hurt anyone that would help her. So she went back to him to keep him from messing with her family and friends that provided her help and a place to stay. Even when the police was called out, they stated they could not do anything because she would not press charges because of him threatening her. They told her she would have to say what he was doing for them to help her. Until then he was not breaking any laws. She was told, she would have to come down to file for a restraining order. They seen she had bruises on her, but they did not take that into account. Because of too many woman came...

...Facebook Facebook is one of the most successful social networks ever made. What ever happened to one human being going up to another and using face-to-face interaction? Over billions of people have a Facebook account, including myself, and spend countless hours on this addictive website. This website has caused a lot of controversy with adults who have kids that are absolutely obsessed with their Facebook. In “Dad’s Encounter with the vortex of Facebook,” written by Michael Duffy, he discusses some issues he has with Facebook. He explains that the site Gives teens an illusion of privacy, has a dark side, where stalking and cyber bullying takes place and most of all that it’s a waste of time. I couldn’t agree more with Michael issues about Facebook. Michael Duffy claims that teens have an illusion of privacy on Facebook. In other words, as he states in his article, “Teenagers think their lives are private just so long as their parents aren’t tuning in.” Since these teenagers have this illusion that their Facebook is private, they think they can say and post statuses as well inappropriate pictures and they think there won’t be any consequences from this. For example, I had a friend who went to a party and took pictures of herself drinking alcohol, smoking marijuana, and dancing inappropriately on numerous guys. She then posted the pictures she took from the party from the other night, thinking her parents would never see the photos. It turns out she had an older cousin who...

...The Role of the Internet and Crime The internet has brought much advancement to our society. How we communicate with others and how we entertain ourselves has been greatly changed by the internet. We can stream videos, chat with friends, and purchase goods from any internet connected device. The internet has also brought many problems as well. Digital crime has been aided by the internet. The internet has given criminals a new avenue to do their deeds. Actions such as fraud, bullying, and sexual related crimes have all been aided by computers and their connection to the internet. Criminals have been committing fraud for ages. Fraud is defined as “an intentional deception made for personal gain or to damage another individual” (“Fraud”). Such things like the bait and switch have been going on well before the internet. A person is told that an item is being sold for a really low price so the person goes in to purchase said item. Once they get to the store, they are told the item is unavailable and are switched to a more costly item. With the internet has come advertising which can potentially do the same thing. Online dating sites also do this by posting fake profiles to entice people to join or once joined get messaged by a fake profile to entice you into upgrading your account to message back. A few years ago, seven online merchants that operated more than 40 web sites paid out a $765,000 settlement for a bait and switch scam (Katzmaier). Once the customer placed...

...implemented. For the computer, cyber law was implemented to regulate cybercrime and inform people on the different types of computer uses that are viewed as legal and as crimes. One of the most commonly violated cyber law is the United States anti- cyber-stalking law, which is found at section 223 of the United States constitution stipulated for the cyberstalking crime. The anti-cyber-stalking law according to Hitchcock (2006) defines a cyber stalker as a person who intentionally, cruelly, and continuously harasses another person through the internet with the intention to make the person fear for his or her safety or the safety of other people who are closely connected to the victim. Additionally, a cyberstalker maybe an online stranger or a person known to the victim and may involve other people online who are not in any way connected to the victim. Lawfully, cyberstalking is considered as a criminal offense that is moderated through the anti-staking laws or the harassment laws. The penalties for cyberstalking include restraining orders, probation, and jail-term. According to Meloy (2000) the anti-cyber-stalking laws have been violated on many occasions, this has been confirmed by the State Law Enforcement Agencies, whereby the stalking and Threat Assessment Unit Office has estimated that among 500 cases handled by...
