Combined with the world wide web, hackers can use the computers to gain information from any organisation around the world, penetrating even the most impenetrable organisations to get what they want, highlighting how technology has led to the process of globalization within the criminal world.

Today people of authority are experiencing a new wave of crime, transforming how criminals are using technology to invent new crimes and rewriting the traditional methods of how crimes were once committed (PERF, 2018). Due to many advances in technology it’s becoming easier for criminals to gain information on how to commit numerous illegal acts whilst remaining anonymous, this is making it harder for people in a position of authority to find the culprit as there is only little evidence (PERF, 2018). To prove that cyber crime is becoming more popular as there were almost three hundred thousand reports of people being victimised on the internet during 2016 (PERF, 2018), This shows that crime is becoming more based on online acts and it is seen as a fast and convenient way to harm and abuse the justice system as it is extremely easy to access without the added risk of risking their identity, The rise of internet based crimes is obvious in every day use as mostly everyone has a computer or a device that is connected to the internet although due to the existing systems of measuring crimes were created for felonies committed in a psychical form not over the internet as it is becoming harder for police and other authoritarians to create any new developments regarding minimising the new crime

The agencies employed by governments to police the web in order to protect the vulnerable have seen an increase in child pornography and online fraud. The speed at which information can be distributed and the number of people that can be reached attracts those that are intent on causing harm. The term “cybercrime” is becoming more widely used. The financial gains that can be made and the anonymity the internet can provide, make the virtual world of cyberspace a haven for criminals. Although the internet has huge benefits for information gathering and social networking, in the wrong hands it can cause harm to the vulnerable and criminals are able to vanish into the underground with the use of false identities that are hard to track online.

Although the increase in such crimes can potentially cause many issues and obstacles for an individual, they do not physically harm anyone. Such crimes as internet fraud and any other crime that can be committed online, are all fixable and can be prevented. There are security systems that can help protect against frauds and prevent any more from occurring, which makes this issue much less crucial to stop. It is also possible to contact police and bankers to stop this from occurring and they can help you regain all of your losses. The government also has the NSA, the National Security Agency, to monitor all internet movements, which helps stop many of these issues. New technology has helped prevent an immense amount of street crimes, that without the internet, would have only continued to rise, while millions of people would have continued to be murdered.
