Description

The increasing reliance on computers in modern life is the root of the evil known as cyber crime. Cyber crime has taken on fairly sinister overtones in the modern era, when everything from microwaves and refrigerators to nuclear power plants is run by computers. Law enforcement and society at large are faced with significant issues as a result of cybercrime. To comprehend why and how cybercrime varies from traditional, it is vital to comprehend why and how this is true. It is best described as "Offences that are committed against individuals or groups of individuals with a criminal motive to intentionally harm the reputation of the victim" because of the combination of these two characteristics. This is the exact reason why investigative agencies find cyberspace to be a very challenging environment to navigate. This book examines the social, legal, and technical aspects of cybercrime. Cybercrime is a broad word that covers offences where a computer might be the target, offences where a computer could be a tool used to commit an existing offence, and misdeeds where a computer could play a supporting function like providing evidence for the commission of an act.
