    Computer Crime

    Computer Crime Bryan J. Doe CJ375 Research Paper COMPUTER CRIME One of the newest areas of crime is what we call computer crime. The at least seeming anonymity of computer technologies may actually encourage some people who would not otherwise be tempted to commit crimes to do so using the Internet. They may simply believe that they will never be caught, or they may not think about being caught at all. They may simply find the lure of committing virtual crimes too psychologically appealing to resist. Many of those who commit crimes on the Internet are in fact psychologically disturbed and need compassionate treatment by psychiatric professionals. However, this does not lessen the real harm that they can do to people and they must be stopped. Combating the global computer crime pandemic is becoming an increasingly urgent issue, as identity theft and spyware are occurring with alarming frequency. Early instances of computer crime found individuals, corporations and law enforcement unprepared, uninformed and immobilized to address computer crime responsively. This resulted in victims suffering long drawn-out battles to regain their identities. With no guidelines to assist them, many victims endured frustrating battles that yielded little benefit. Corporations likewise faced many obstacles in their uncharted course to recover from data theft. As defined, technology has created a gateway for computer criminals, allowing for easy access to personal or business computers via the internet. Cyber criminals use several different methods to infiltrate business and personal computers; fraudulent marketing schemes, on-line auctions, work-at-home schemes, gambling operations, and spam, just to name a few. Many times home owners and businesses have no idea they have been the victim of a cyber crime. Types of computer crime can sometimes lose their significance when we as citizens wrap it all up into one expression, “computer crime.” There needs to be a further breakdown…

    cyber crime

    Facebook has become a force to reckon with in the field of social networking. It has been ranked as the number one social networking site with a membership of over five hundred million. It has earned trust from many people who have in turn exposed their information without thinking twice into which hands it might fall. Despite the positive contribution and impact that Facebook has provided, it still has a weak point that is easy to manipulate and misuse - this is the anonymity of the internet. It is hard to tell that the person you are interacting with on Facebook is whom he or she claims to be. It is also easy to hack someone’s account on Facebook and use it for personal gain and in most cases criminal activities. This has redefined cybercrime making it grow and graduate to a new level where it is difficult to differentiate between crime and genuine activities on the internet. Many crimes such as drug peddling have advanced to the level where it is hard to tell what is going on unless one understands the language that is being used by the involved parties. This study intends to establish how much cybercrime has grown as a result of social networks in general and Facebook in particular. The study also intends to enlighten the users of social networks on the existence of such crimes. Moreover, the study will strive to ascertain the number of people who fallen victim to such crimes, the consequences and how they got out of the situation. The study will be conducted using a questionnaire survey. Pertinent issues from the questionnaire survey will be pursued and clarified through probing questions posed to the interviewees. The resultant data will be analyzed using t-test, chi-square, correlation descriptive statistics and regression analysis.…
