The Investigator's Guide to Computer Crime

The Investigator's Guide to Computer Crime, 9780398076023 (0398076022), Charles Thomas, 2006

In the past half-century we have gone from a world where computers were science fiction to a world where computers are everyday fact. Just thirty years ago the computer that flew with the first astronauts to the moon had less computing power than the computer on the average student’s desk today. Computers have grown in popularity, acceptance, and computing power. The average Personal Computer has doubled its computing capacity every eighteen months for more than a decade. Today, we find computers common in almost all parts of our life and there is no reason to believe that usage will decrease in the near future.

Along with the acceptance of computers in our everyday life has emerged a new line of crime revolving around the computer. Just as computers make daily business transactions more efficient they have also made many crimes more efficient. Computers have given us many new advances in our lives and provided great improvement as a whole. This is also true of the criminal element; computers have created contemptible new crimes as well as modernized many of the old ones.
