The World Wide Web is the New Crime Scene

By Andrew Virender


In any society, criminals are always involved. Whenever some other person has a good amount of money and has an excellent lifestyle along with their excellent paycheck, some other person who puts no applied effort into life finds this and robs them of it. The epitome of the old school criminals is the good old "hold you at gunpoint" breed. These criminals might lurk in some gloomy alley for all of your cash and jewels, and then leave you poor and hurt. This is the most memorable view of the old-style crook.

This breed of criminals would star in the good old mafia films, the ones so outdated they would be in scratchy gray-scale. Aside from their Hollywood glitz surface though, these guys did some bad stuff. Not just the mafia gangs, but street criminals are responsible for most of the destruction and fright many citizens experience now. These people were the ones who left bystanders feeling nervous for their lives, and were bait for sensationalist news reports adding to the hysteria.

These mafia guys committed crimes that rocked the nation. They were the societal rejects, the ones who, when families saw their grim faces rotting in jail, would turn their kid's looks away, as if their menacing stare had some hypnotic quality. These guys are the cumulative force that the United States walks so carefully with its prison system. It is an interesting matter that such an open system cultivates: you have these seemingly unlimited free choices, yet it is just unconsciously understood and hoped for that you won't infringe upon them. Unfortunately, while many of us pay mind to these laws, guys like these do not and it rips apart at the moral fiber of our nation.

The criminals of the olden days, the kind that would stop you in a desolate corridor with their various weapons and then pilfer all of your goods, although were at one time the worst of the worst, are child's play to our bad guys of recent. The criminals of today have one huge advantage: they have assimilated technology into their misdeeds. One might at first consider that technology is with the boys in blue, making it simpler and more efficient to get these criminals, but in fact it helps the crooks to hide themselves. The criminals have become one with the high-tech equipment and become very skilled in its use.

Think of the average crime scene. An sly criminal who wanted some money would see a rich-looking person, and judge their odds of winning. Weapons brandished and in a sequestered location they would confront their target, wave the gun around, and proceed to take their money. Once they get all of the money out of the wallet, they would tell the victim to not call the police. They would then sprint all of the way to their hideout and lay low for a little while, until the police were off of them.

Back then, there were only very basic methods the criminal using satellite pictures and GPS location. It didn't matter though: with a well staffed and skilled police force, the thief was usually apprehended timely. There was not any tools of the trade they could use to hide themselves or clean up the scene of the crime. Once they were caught, there was no DNA markings to put them at the crime scene then, there was just a simple line-up and the victim, who tentatively singled out the criminals mug shot.

Technology is our hero then, right? Unfortunately, this is often not the case. While our rapid success in producing DNA tracking, fingerprints and other technological advances, these tools can also help in the suspect's runaway from justice. A running car is the most high-tech equipment a criminal today needs to disappear; it doesn't matter is they know exactly who did the act. If they can't go out and get them, all of their information on them is quite useless.

An intangible crime; the perfect crime. These are hard hitters for law enforcement, as there is no scene of the crime and due to the technological shield the criminal can put up around their location. Another scary thing is that, these identity thieves and hackers, as aforementioned, are seldom caught and brought to justice. So with no viable means to effectively stop them, we can only hope to protect ourselves from their strike. Always be very wary online, and protect yourself with a multitude of Internet security systems. And avoid secluded areas!
