Cyber Crime Scientific e-Resources, Nov 7, 2018 - 308 pages Cyber Crime is an evil having its origin in the growing dependence on computers in modern life. In a day and age when everything from microwave ovens and refrigerators to nuclear power plants is being run on computers, Cyber Crime has assumed rather sinister implications. Cyber Crime poses great challenges for law enforcement and for society in general. To understand why this is true, it is necessary to understand why, and how, cybercrime differs from traditional, terrestrial crime. Net-crime refers to criminal use of the Internet. Cyber-crimes are essentially a combination of these two elements and can be best defined as "e;Offences that are committed against individuals or groups of individuals with a criminal motive to intentionally harm the reputation of the victim or cause physical or mental harm to the victim directly or indirectly using modern telecommunication networks such as the Internet (Chat rooms, e-mails, notice boards and groups) and mobile phones (SMS/MMS)"e;. Since Cyber Crime is a newly specialized field, growing in cyber laws, there is absolutely no comprehensive law on Cyber Crime anywhere in the world. This is precisely the reason why investigating agencies are finding cyberspace to be an extremely difficult terrain to handle. This book explores technical, legal, and social issues related to Cyber Crime. Cyber Crime is a broad term that includes offences where a computer may be the target, crimes where a computer may be a tool used in the commission of an existing offence, and crimes where a computer may play a subsidiary role such as offering evidence for the commission of an offence. |
