From the Paper
"Combatting the global cyber crime pandemic is becoming an increasingly urgent issue, as identity theft and spyware are occurring with alarming frequency. Early instances of cyber crime found individuals, corporations and law enforcement unprepared, uninformed and immobilized to address cyber 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 and..."

Abstract
Cyber crime is one of the most prevalent and most popular rising crimes being committed today. Law enforcement agencies are struggling to keep up with technology and constantly bump into roadblocks to help them stop this growing crime. This paper attempts to analyze current policy and implement policy recommendations that will aid law enforcement officials to police cyber crime. The paper maintains that, while September 11 shifted America's focus from cyber crime to cyber-terrorism, the facts show that cyber crime is far more dangerous to the American public and the economy.

From the Paper
"One aspect of cybercrime is the ability for sex offenders to prey upon unsuspecting individuals over the internet. American's must remember people are not always who they appear to be. One of the critical topics discussed at the White House Conference was the growing threat of cyber-predators. Nearly 30 million children and youth go online annually and 75% of children between the ages of 14 and 17 use the internet. Research by the University of New Hampshire found that one in five children between the ages of 10 and 17 received a sexual solicitation over the Internet in the last year. One in 33 received an aggressive solicitation - a solicitor who asked to meet them somewhere; called them on the telephone; or sent them regular mail, money, or gifts. The Internet is a tremendous educational resource for parents, teachers, and children. Parental, private sector, and government efforts are continuing to improve online child safety and will help make the Internet a safer and ever more valuable tool for children. "

Abstract
This paper discusses cyber crime, criminal activity which targets computers and information, or which uses computers as the means of committing an offense. It examines how it is a very serious and complicated matter that cannot be taken lightly and how without a true understanding, public and private corporations can easily be mislead in the perspective of its gravity. It shows how this thinking opens up weaknesses in public and private computer systems that the cyber criminal could easily take advantage of and exploit for their own gain. It defines cyber crime, breaking it down into a number of sections giving examples of certain crimes that are often committed under each section. Then it provides a brief history describing the development of new laws for the new crimes, specific cases in history concerning cyber crime and also a description of where cyber crime is today and its impact on the individual and companies who are its victims.
From the Paper
"Just like the world of street crime the world of cyber crime needs policing tactics and policing units. Yet the goal of the agencies are not really to prevent, but more to investigate crimes that have already happened; the reason for this is because in cyber space there is no physical area where police can patrol to stop crime. So if policing agencies cannot prevent attacks, not including the use of undercover online operations, then who can? This question can be answered in a few ways. Private companies usually hire experts in the field of computers who can find the companies? weaknesses and where they could be attacked and tighten up their network with certain defenses like firewalls, virus scanners, and other various programs. The individual, on the other hand, has to spend money on programs which will detect intrusions and viruses that have infiltrated their personal system. Private industries that create these programs which protect systems would be similar to companies who produce self-defense equipment and classes, because that is what these programs do; they target-harden and help a victim fight back against their attacker."

Abstract
The writer of this well-researched paper focuses on the consistent rise in both computer and internet related crimes in the U.S. and the United Kingdom, as well as the strategies that have been implemented to fight these illegal acts. This paper supplies relevant statistics and data regarding this particular topic. The writer contends and details why the term cyber-crime falls into three basic categories: Software piracy, electronic break-ins and computer sabotage. This paper cites several cases of cyber-terrorism, in which computer hackers shut down various public and/or government computer websites, including those of the CIA, FBI and the U.S. Air Force. This paper also delves into the various measures taken to prevent cyber-crimes including: The European Union, which established the Committee of Experts on Crime in Cyberspace, which drafted a binding convention to facilitate international cooperation in the investigation and prosecution of individuals suspected of computer crimes. The U.S. has also developed legislation that deals with specific forms of cyber-crimes, as well as providing copyright protection for various computer programs, which are now recognized by the courts.
From the Paper
"Not all attacks are external. Sabotage by employees can also occur. The above Trade and Industry survey also found that almost a third of UK firms had dealt with up to five disciplinary cases of Internet abuse in 2002. Carelessness by employees is almost as threatening as intentional crime. Users make passwords too simple, reveal them when asked, or write them on a post-it near their PC. Carelessness can be countered by the implementation and enforcement of systems use policies and training.
Lastly, because of the fear of terrorism since 9/11, numerous cities throughout the United States have put together disaster plans as well as had practice drills in case the worst occurs. It may be just as important to prepare for the worst for cybercrimes."

Abstract
This paper examines how Internet crimes, intellectual crimes, and cyber crimes are related to a large extent. It provides a definition of each of the terms and attempts to show how, in actuality, the use of the term 'cyber crimes' subsumes both the Internet crimes and the intellectual crimes. The intellectual crimes can occur without having the Internet, but with the application of the Internet, the intellectual crimes occur faster, often leaving no physical trace of such crimes.
From the Paper
"Cyber crime is an umbrella term that covers both the Internet crime and intellectual crime. In other words, cyber crimes are those crimes that can be done with or with the help of the Internet. For example, to gain unauthorized access to someone?s computers in order to deleting files, altering web pages, posting stolen credit card numbers, and making unauthorized purchases. In addition, the cyber-crime involves child Pornography or exploitation, computer fraud, Internet harassment, and Internet bomb threats. Cyber crimes also include money laundering and unlawful banking transactions, use of organized crime records or books, and bookmaking. For example, in one case, a suspect committed murder by changing a patient's medication information and dosage in a hospital computer."

Abstract
This paper provides a definition of cyber crime and explores different forms thereof. It asks questions such as - Who commits cyber crime and what is being done to prevent it. It examines the most common crimes committed via the Internet such as software piracy and credit card fraud but also analyzes the scarier crimes such as child pornography and security hacking.
From the Paper
"Cyber crime is probably the most talked about form of crime in North America. Parents worry about pedophiles using the Internet to access their children. Businesses spend enormous amounts of money to protect their computer systems from hacker attacks. Many individuals will not use the Internet to shop because they are worried about how secure their credit card information is on the Internet. Is all of this worry, sometimes verging on hysteria justified? Or is it simply a case of fear of a new technology."

Abstract
The paper looks at the new direction in which crime is moving, with the use of cyber-technology to carry out illegal activity and the problems this causes for law enforcement agencies. The paper discusses the international nature of cyber-crime, since the internet does not recognize national boundaries. The paper also examines ways of overcoming these challenges, such as using computer forensics and sophisticated monitoring systems.
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)."

Abstract
This paper will examine the involvement of the Canadian government in creating legislation and/or regulations against cyber crimes. It will be argued that the action (or the lack of same) of the Canadian government in this area reflects its uncertainty as to the issue of Canadian legal jurisdiction in cyberspace. As will be seen, this is a broader problem confronting nation states in the age of the Internet and networked computers.

"Fears of being robbed, assaulted, raped, or otherwise victimized on the ?mean streets? of American cities are hardly giving way, but new fears of criminal victimization are emerging as more and more Americans long on to the Internet for shopping, investment, financial transactions of all kinds (including bill payments and banking), and ordinary communication. Michael Miller (1999) commented that only a few short years ago, Americans who were thrilled with Internet chat rooms and Trivial Pursuit games were less than enthusiastic about using their credit cards to make online purchases; the industries that wanted to exploit the commercial advantages of the emerging medium joined together to create tough to break data encryption standards and protocols that would reduce this fear and the..."

Abstract
The paper illustrates how thieves who learn how to operate computers can now locate and steal funds from people they will never meet and how viruses can be sent out that will wreak havoc on an unsuspecting group. The paper addresses the obstacles involved in halting Internet crimes. The paper explains that while many states and countries are working to design laws addressing cyber crimes, it won't help when multiple jurisdictions are involved. The paper contends that the best protection against cyber criminals will be to enact global laws that are universal by nature, regardless of where the crime originates or ends. The paper concludes that rather than stop using the Internet, the time has come to enact legislation that will provide stronger sentences to those who commit Internet crimes.

Along with the freedoms and new opportunities that the Internet provides the cyber world has opened an entirely new avenue for criminals to explore. Cyber crime has exploded in many areas around the world.
"We hear about different types of cyber crime every day from business having someone break into their company and taking computers with thousands of peoples personal information to a sexual predator luring an under age girl to his place. How is our law enforcement working to stop these kinds of crimes?"

Abstract
This paper addresses the issue of cybercrime and its effects on society. It begins by defining computer crime as illegal activity which uses computers as a means to an end. It then looks at motives for computer security violation and how software is at great risk from this form of crime, through worms and virus spread by malice. The paper then looks at various options available to guard against software threats, such as firewalls and other security techniques. The writer also addresses ethical considerations which need to be taken into account as well as issues of privacy. The paper concludes with a discussion about the future of this problem.
From the Paper
"From personal computers in the home used to track checking accounts and keep household inventories in databases to large supercomputers that control space missions and run the world's largest companies, computers have become commonplace. The number of individuals who have access to the information on those computers has increased as the communications industry has undergone a revolution in recent years, and uncontrolled access to information presents a very real threat in most business and some government information. Because of the highly significant role that computers play in modern life, there is a need to keep information on machines secure from tampering, from unauthorized dissemination, and from unauthorized removal.

Abstract
This paper looks at the growing phenomenon of computer-related crimes. Specifically, the author examines computer fraud, which costs $100 million a year, and hacking, particularly by teenagers and others who are thrill-seeking. The paper concludes that despite the cost, there need to be greater safety mechanisms to protect individuals' and organizations' privacy, as well as to safeguard national security and ensure freedom of commerce.
From the Paper
"The fact that the price of computers now makes it possible for nearly every family to own one, and have it linked to America On Line, or some other service provider, has increased the opportunities of the criminal and pedophile element to use electronic means of defrauding and enticing the public. Federal, state, and local regulations have not kept pace. In fact, there are practically NO statutes on the books that provide serious penalties. Even the most ambitious and dangerous "hackers" such as the notorious Kevin Mitnick, only got slaps on the wrist. "A one-year prison sentence, followed by six months in a rehabilitation program." (Hafner 323)"
