Bloomberg, David. "Cons Hit the Internet: Same Scams, New Medium."
Law & Order (June 2001): pp. 38-40.
Abstract: Many Internet cons are simply revisions of the old standbys
that have worked on the street, in the mail or over the phone. As criminals
continue to gain knowledge in how to commit online crimes, law enforcement
needs to redouble its efforts to learn how to prosecute them.

Criminal Conduct in Cyberspace." International Journal of Law and
Information Technology (Summer 2002): pp. 139-223. Notes: (Available full
text on Criminal Justice Periodicals Index, CJPI)

a concern that is shared by many international organizations. There are
a number of reasons to be concerned, perhaps the most important of which
is the problems law enforcement officers and prosecutors can encounter
when they try to apply existing law to criminal activities in cyberspace.

Huey, Laura J. "Policing the Abstract: Some Observations on Policing
Cyberspace." Canadian Journal of Criminology (July 2002): pp. 243-55.
Abstract: Huey argues that some of the problems raised in policing cyberspace
are conceptual in nature and stem from habitués: That the police
culture is grounded in a perceptual schema tied to understandings of the
policing function as being inked primarily to physical/geographical notions
of what constitutes territory to be policed. Cyberspace, by contrast,
is seen as being fundamentally different or abstract, and thus not a space
where normal policing strategies are easily applied.
Johnston, Richard. "The Battle Against White-Collar Crime."
USA Today (January 2002): pp. 36-38. Notes: (Available full text on Wilsonweb)

Kennedy, D. C. "In Search of a Balance Between Police Power and
Privacy in the Cyber-Crime Treaty." Richmond Journal of Law &
Technology (Fall 2002): N/A.
Notes: (Available full text on Wilsonweb)
Abstract: In an effort to address the difficulties of investigating cyber
criminals, the Council of Europe put forward a cyber-crime treaty to harmonize
definitions of cyber crime in states that become parties to the treaty.
To assist law enforcement with investigation of these crimes, the treaty
provides for procedures to assist law enforcement in the search and seizure
of computer data and facilitates cooperative investigations by states
affected in specific cyber-crime incidents. This paper will explore the
increase in police power granted by the treaty.
Lang, Dave. "A Graphic Picture of Crime." Security Management
(September 2002): pp. 84-89.
Abstract: A case study describes and investigation and apprehension of
two cyber-criminals. The tale of how investigators caught this pair and
their associates offers security managers a glimpse into the methods used
by information thieves today - as well as how their high-tech tools can
be turned against them by detectives who know how to track digital footprints.
Loper, D. Kall. "A Case Study in the Forensics of Computer Crime:
E-Mail Address Spoofing." Journal of Security Administration (December
2001): pp. 45-69. Notes: (Available full text on Criminal Justice Periodical
Index - CJPI)
Abstract: Illustrates how accepted and well-known techniques of investigation
can be applied in the new context of digital evidence. The problem set
forth in this research is to identify components of an e-mail message
that allow an investigator to determine the true origin of the message,
the authenticity of the message, and other information useful in building
a profile of the computer criminal for further investigation with more
traditional techniques.

2001): pp. 43-46.

is probably best investigated by specialized companies and in-house experts
hired by the victim companies themselves.

those crimes. It introduces IT professionals to the highly structured
world of law enforcement, where rules of evidence must be followed closely
and crime scenes must not be contaminated. It provides law enforcement
officers with an understanding of the technical aspects of cyber-crime
and how technology can be used to help solve crimes.

Voyles, Bennett. "Crime Does Pay." Operations & Fulfillment
(October 2003): pp. 16-+. Notes: (Available full text on Wilsonweb)
Abstract: Sick of working yourself to the bone? Tired of worrying about
budgets? Maybe it's time you considered a carefree life in online retail
fraud. Once the exclusive domain of Hollywood screen writers and disgruntled
teenagers, cyber crime is now a big-time illegal business. And most security
experts say that in spite of new credit card security initiatives and
better anti-fraud software, cyber criminals have years of growing opportunity
ahead.
