Technology And Crime
Technology and Crime
In solving crimes or committing crimes technology plays a vital role. The method a criminal uses to victimize someone and way law enforcement catches criminals is all tied to advances in technology. The same computer that allows a hacker (a person who uses a computer for exploration and exploitation) to perpetrate a crime is also used to catch him. Computers have evolved into what is sometimes a nightmare for users. Computer criminals today will employ anything from spam, forgery emails, spyware and adware to harass users. On the other side of crime there is forensic DNA, which is a technology coming into play in a lot of legal cases. This paper will focus on a few of the aspects of each side of the scope of technology and crime.
Computer crimes have evolved into a wide array of areas in which the internet has only enhanced. Crimes committed with computer use of the internet include; identity theft, use of stolen credit cards, online gambling, stalking (or cyber stalking), distribution of child pornography and hacking. Hackers are able use their technical expertise to commit crimes without anyone ever knowing.
