Law enforcement needs resources to fight electronic crime
Dibya Sarkar writes in FCW.com:
Although electronic crimes are increasing at an alarming rate, there is a lack of reliable statistics measuring the frequency, size and impact of such crimes and little scientific research being done to profile the perpetrators, experts say.
Edward Appel, president of the non-profit Joint Council on Information Age Crime, which supports public/private cooperation to prevent and respond to high-tech crime, said law enforcement officials need better capabilities and more resources to deal with electronic crime whether it is committed in cyberspace or traditional crimes involving digital devices.
But whether it’s cyberterrorism, Internet crimes against children, identity theft, intellectual property theft or fraud, he said there aren’t good statistics regarding the number and type of crimes.
