Willie Sutton, a notorious American bank robber of fifty years ago,
was once asked why he persisted in robbing banks. "Because that's
where the money is," he is said to have replied. The theory that
crime follows opportunity has become established wisdom in
criminology; opportunity reduction has become one of the
fundamental principles of crime prevention. "The enormous benefits
of telecommunications are not without cost." It could be argued
that this quotation from Crime in the Digital Age, is a dramatic
understatement. Grabosky and Smith advise us that the criminal
opportunities which accompany these newest technological changes
include: illegal interception of telecommunications; electronic
vandalism and terrorism; theft of telecommunications services;
telecommunications piracy; transmission of pornographic and other
offensive material; telemarketing fraud; electronic funds transfer
crime; electronic money laundering; and finally, telecommunications
in furtherance of other criminal conspiracies. However, although
digitization has facilitated a great deal of criminal activity, the
authors suggest that technology also provides the means to prevent
and detect such crimes. Moreover, the varied nature of these crimes
defies a single policy solution. Grabosky and Smith take us through
this electronic minefield and discuss the issues facing Australia
as well as the international community and law enforcement
agencies.
