...The Internet has taken an intricate and deceptive approach in the 21st century. With the always-constant advancement of technology, the Internet has grown to be a medium where, individuals utilize it as a platform to conduct criminal activities. Some criminal activities account for: fraud, cyber warfare, financial misconduct, and cyber-bullying. This has grown to be an incredible concern as human safety has been established as the main topic of conversation. With regards too the governance geography of criminal activities, “criminal organizations [as well as, individuals] cloak their power in the mantle of state authority” (Williams). However, “this [does not] suggest that the criminal interaction will determine all aspects of state behavior” (Williams). Furthermore, criminal organizations continue to “entrench themselves in weak states in the former Soviet Union, Africa, Latin America and parts of Asia, [due to] differing degrees of vulnerability” (Williams). Imperviousness to solve these limitations is an approach that must be taken. Instead of acknowledging the ideology of compromising human security, economic and social concerns, there should be some sort of regulation rules implemented. However, there is, “a possible consequence of global divide caused by competing ideologies [over a] struggle for power” (Williams). It is most likely that, states that advocate, “law and order [are the same ones] that are dominated by criminal interests and criminal authorities” (Williams)...

...Cyber crimes and effectiveness of laws in India to control them Under the Supervision of Dr. P.K. Rai Birendra Singh (M.Phil(CS)) Department of Computer Science APSU Rewa ABSTRACT:- India owes a lot to the exponential growth of the Information Technology service Industry over the last 15 years. Though India got its first codified Act in the Information Technology Act (“IT Act), in the year 2000, the IT Industry and in fact all businesses with cross-border obligations have been left crying themselves hoarse for more! The Indian Legislature has now passed a mish –mash legislation in December 2008, which clearly demonstrates the appeasement policy adapted to meet the various and in some instances divergent interests of the Industry and the Government. The scope of this paper is to highlight some important provisions of the cyber criminal laws in India relating to data protection, privacy, encryption and other cyber crimes and the extent to which the said provisions arm the enforcement authorities to combat not just existing but emerging trends in Cyber Crime. INTRODUCTION:- The general laws in India were drafted and enacted in the 19th century. Whilst each of the general laws have undergone modifications and amendments, the broad and underlying provisions have withstood the test of time, including unimaginable advancements in technology, which speaks to the dynamism of the General laws. The general laws referred to in this Article are the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (“IPC”), which...

...of access and simplicity in navigation a growing trend among juveniles as well adults is cyber bullying. There are many forms of cyber bullying such as insults, spreading of false rumors, targeting of individuals or promoting attacks from others, identity theft, sharing or exploitation of individuals in embarrassing situations, email sharing, pressuring others to exclude individuals, and outright harassment through messages or emails (Li, 2007). The problem is becoming increasing more apparent within our nation with recent school shootings and suicides caused or perpetrated by individuals who were constantly harassed by school mates or fellow peers within the community. Individuals may be more likely to engage in bullying behavior online because they can’t see or hear the effects of their actions, and because it’s possible to be anonymous online. Unfortunately, this problem seems to be very prevalent among teens and adolescents. Among the effects of cyber bullying is the influence it has on the victim. Bullying can trigger low self-esteem, embarrassment, school truancy, alcohol or drug use, aggression, anger, physical violence. In 2011, the National Center for Education Statistics and Bureau of Justice Statistics conducted a Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance Survey which found that 16% of high schools were electronically bullied that year (Robers, Snyder, Truman, and Zhang, 2011). Cyber bullying can fall under civil law or criminal law depending on the circumstances of the incident...

This information is gathered from expert sources such as researchers, journalists, and others involved in the field. Computer crimes are often heard a lot about in the news. When you ask someone why he/she robbed banks, they world replied, "Because that's where the money is." Today's criminals have learned where the money is. Instead of settling for a few thousand dollars in a bank robbery, those with enough computer knowledge can walk away from a computer crime with many millions. The National Computer Crimes Squad estimates that between 85 and 97 percent of computer crimes are not even detected. Fewer than 10 percent of all computer crimes are reported this is mainly because organizations fear that their employees, clients, and stockholders will lose faith in them if they admit that their computers have been attacked.

...INTRODUCTION 1.1 Definition of Cyber Crime The internet in Bangladesh is growing rapidly. It has given rise to new opportunities in every field we can think of – be it entertainment, business, sports or education. There are two sides to a coin. Internet also has its own disadvantages. One of the major disadvantages is Cyber crime – illegal activity committed on the internet. The internet, along with its advantages, has also exposed us to security risks that come with connecting to a large network. Computers today are being misused for illegal activities like e-mail espionage, credit card fraud, spams, and software piracy and so on, which invade our privacy and offend our senses. “The modern thief can steal more with a computer than with a gun. Tomorrow's terrorist may be able to do more damage with a keyboard than with a bomb”. The term ‘cyber crime’ has been evolved from two words ‘cyber’ and ‘crime’. ‘Crime’ is more or less known to each individual on his own stand point, while ‘cyber’ is almost vague in meaning to the same. So if any time anybody uses the prefix ‘cyber’, we simply mean, he is talking about something is doing online or there has certain networking system. Actually anything related to Internet falls under the cyber category. Computer crime or cyber crime is a form of crime where the Internet or computers are used as a medium to commit crime.
