Study Notes
Degrees of Computer Crime
- Computer criminals vary in technical sophistication, indicating a spectrum of offenses from minor to serious.
- The seriousness of offenses may also depend on the expertise of law enforcement agencies investigating them.
Challenges in Investigation and Prosecution
- Jurisdiction Issues: The location of a crime typically defines jurisdiction, but in computer crimes, jurisdiction can depend on where the criminal and victim are located.
- International Cooperation: Investigating and prosecuting computer crimes is hindered by a lack of collaboration among countries, often exacerbated by the absence of treaties or agreements.
- Judicial Inconsistency: Varying legal frameworks and approaches to computer crime across different jurisdictions lead to challenges in prosecution.
Technical Difficulties
- Encryption: The use of cryptography protects data, presenting hurdles for law enforcement in accessing information.
- Steganography: Hiding information within other data complicates detection and evidence collection for prosecution efforts.
- Detection Delays: Late identification of computer crimes increases the risk of perpetrators avoiding prosecution.
Perceptions of Anonymity
- Many criminals exploit perceived anonymity provided by technology, potentially leading to increased willingness to commit crimes.
