This book contains part of the revised papers presented at the
ISPAC International Conference on Crime and Technology held in
Courmayeur on November 2003. It presents a multidisciplinary
approach to an emerging topic and addresses two main questions:
"How do crime and criminals change because of technology?" and
"What are the challenges offered that could make the fight against
cyber criminals more effective and reduce the opportunities for
computer crimes and computer-related crimes?"
The authors are well-known policymakers, practitioners and
researchers. In their interpretations and answers to the questions
posed they focus either on general issues or on details that shed
light on the relationships between crime and technology. The
challenge remains on the capability of legislation, law enforcement
and research to take the best from technology and use it to combat
crime and at the same time to oppose the use of technology by
criminals in committing their crimes. This process needs
flexibility in legislation, better training in law enforcement and
good quality research oriented to help policy solutions and,
finally, a good partnership between public authorities, law
enforcement, private authorities and consumers associations.
This book is of interest to academics and to personnel working
in international organizations or in law enforcement areas.
