From the Paper:

"During the last century, crime was fought much as it had always been, in reality, banks were robbed in person, embezzlement was usually committed by employees, and mail fraud involved the postal service (Radcliffe pg). Today, however, the criminal is unseen and unknown. Although, computers and the Internet have opened a new world of communication for consumers, it has also opened a playground for criminal activity. Felonies are now committed thousands of miles from the actual crime scene. Criminals are using computers to embezzle corporations and financial institutions, launder money, traffic drugs, and distribute child pornography (Radcliffe pg)."
