Cybercrime has experienced significant progress during recent years, as its advance is directly proportional with the advance of technology. In spite of the fact that the authorities devise new and better strategies to fight cybercrime, the fact that the number of people online is constantly increasing means that cybercrimes occur even more frequently. Dishonest people who seek opportunities have discovered how the internet stands as a perfect environment for them to commit crimes by taking as little risks as possible. Computer fraud generates a series of benefits for the person committing it, as he or she can either profit financially from the enterprise or can simply alter files in order for his or her image to be positively affected. Identity theft is a major form of cybercrime and it is essential for society to acknowledge the gravity of the matter in order to be able to effectively fight against criminals using it.

Police officers including approximately six armed members of the “Special Emergency Response Team” forcibly entered the appellants’ (Bulsey & Anor) house. Bulsey was taken from his bed, placed on the floor, handcuffed and dragged out to the street and later charged with riotous assembly and destruction of a building. In subsequent committal proceedings, the respondent conceded it did not have a case against the first appellant. He was discharged. Bulsey (the first appellant) sued the respondent for damages for trespass to the person (assault, battery and false imprisonment). Anor (the second appellant) sued the respondent for damages for assault and false imprisonment. The trial judge dismissed the appellants’ claims with costs, with judgments in favour of the respondent.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is an administer of the competition and Consumer Act (CCA) which is to prevent collusion among the firms and to prevent the individual firm which break the market equilibrium with their market power. Well competitive market would deliver efficiency costs, faster innovation, prevention of unduly concentrated markets, business freedom, wealth distribution, and enhancement of international competitiveness. Therefore, the ACCC is playing a crucial role in Australia, and their activities can be divided into four categories; (1) the policies for anti-competitive conduct and anti-competitive practices, (2) the mergers policy, (3) the consumer protection policy, and (4) four pillars policy.

I read the article What Makes cyber crime laws so difficult to enforces by Deb Shinder of the Tech Republic . The article talks about why it is so hard to control cyber crime and enforce laws that will help prevent and protect people from cyber crime. The article starts about talking about how at first when the internet got mainstream it was not regulated at all, but over the coming years we have passed law that regulate things that you can do on the internet. Even though we have these laws that are not working in protecting people against cyber crime, it even states in the article that “It can be frustrating for the victims of such crimes, when the perpetrators are never brought to justice”. The article goes into different subdivision on what they believe is causing the laws to not be effective. It split into judicial issues, Anonymity and identity, Nature of the evidence.

Sydney, I completely agree with you. His rights were violated to an extent. In our book it states that our rights end when others begin. When he was just holding up he sign and not yelling profanities his rights were protected by the first amendment. The second he started yelling profanities and causing a scene, is when his rights ended. I also agree that that officers did not detain him too roughly. They did what they had to do. The man was resisting arrest; furthermore, when a person does this, then the police have the right to arrest the person. I also agree that the sign was not he cause of his treatment. He was resisting arrest. The man had wrapped his leg around one of the officers. The treatment that he had received was mainly because

It’s no secret, the internet sensation has made many people redundant, however, over the past decade this global phenomenon has seen the birth of over 1.2 million jobs, dawning a new era for humanity. With rapid developments occurring in the design, development and implementation of technological discoveries. Traditional legal principles and processes are constantly challenged by the need to keep pace with new technologies. in particular, identity theft has skyrocketed since the rise of the internet; a 2012 survey conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics revealed 7% of respondents were directly affected by identity crime in the preceding six months. Identity theft not only affects Australian citizens it’s also a cancer to national security, in order for the government to beat this epidemic it’s imperative that harsher punishments are imposed on cyber criminals.

In today’s society the world is extensively connected, linked together through the vast expanse of the internet. This incredible feat allows for the ability to discover, exchange, and relay information in an instant, with millions of people around the planet and yet this can come at a price. In Will Ferguson’s novel 419, the crime that is internet scamming unfolds before the characters as a man’s life is taken and the dangers of 419 come to life. The desperate lies from Nigerian criminals and selfish exploitations represented in the novel, however, are responsible for much of the human development throughout. The crime against the innocent that exists here is providing a reason for people to unite and become stronger.

The internet has brought upon a new revolution of global interconnection where contacting someone on the other side of the world is just a click away, but with this international phenomenon comes an increased susceptibility with unfamiliar technology. Internet crime is compiled of all non-physical crime with the aid of a computer. Although broad in definition internet crimes are largely composed of acts such as cyber fraud, ‘phishing’ (username and password hacking), cyber stalking and hacking. Internet crime does not pose an overwhelming issue in society in terms of its

Creating good cyber security policies for low wealthy nations businesses. Can also help minimize the amount of vulnerabilities a business can have. Alongside with creating policies for businesses, creating laws and regulations that help reduce cyber security threats (target A. , 2010). Cyber-crime laws can help the conviction of cyber attackers to be brought to justice. Granted in many cases cyber security laws and not caught up with cyber-attacks and threats in a punishing manner. A developing nation must determine what cyber-crimes are valid for then and criminalize them (target A. , 2010).

Although the online marketplace has offered many exciting opportunities to consumers to sample new products they would not otherwise have access to, it has also offered new opportunities for dealers in counterfeit goods to unload their wares on unsuspecting customers. According to Treadwell (2011), the online auction site eBay is a popular place to sell such items. Treadwell's article "From the car boot to booting it up? eBay, online counterfeit crime and the transformation of the criminal marketplace" examines how traditional forms of street crime have been superseded by the use of technology. Treadwell takes his fellow criminologists to task for being insufficiently cognizant of the extent to which the online world has offered new venues for traditional crimes. The idea of 'theft of intellectual' property might bring to mind sophisticated criminal intelligences, but even traditional working-class crimes, such as the sale of counterfeit goods, has become common online. Cybercrime is often a case of 'old wine in new bottles' (Treadwell 2011: 177).

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.

Cyber Law was the first step taken by the government against the cyber-crime. According to this law if any one tries to destroy, alters or delete any data or damage it without any permission of the owner of the computer, shall be punishable offense. Similarly if any corporate body is maintaining or protecting data of the person or company and if any negligent act or failure found in protecting the data shall be liable to pay
