Problems associated with computer crime
include:

• Difficulty in law enforcement

• Difficulty courts face when addressing


extra-jurisdictional crime

• Belief that computer crime is not as


dangerous as violent crime
Problems Associated with
Computer Crime
• Prosecutors may prefer to limit resources
on violent crime instead.
• Lack of reporting arises from a belief that
these are not worth pursuing.
• Law enforcement agencies may lack
financial and/or technical resources to
investigate computer crimes.

▪ Those unique to computers, like
phreaking
▪ Those facilitated by computer use, like
distribution of child pornography

new ways to pay for goods and
services.
• The increased flexibility and utility of
these make them appealing.
Example of a New Cybercrime:
The Emergence of e-Cash
▪ Prepaid cards: like debit cards, not
geographically limited

▪ Stored value cards: sometimes called


electronic purses. Data is on a computer
chip.

▪ Mobile payments may be transmitted via


smartphones.

electronic payments linked to a
precious metal
Conclusions

• Greater reliance on computer-based


technology presents benefits as well as
problems.
Conclusions

• Law enforcement may find it difficult to


respond to new types of crimes
because of:
▪ Lack of resources
▪ Difficulty responding to rapid
technological change
▪ Public perception that computer crime is
less serious than violent crime
