Paper Abstract:
|
Computer and internet have converted the entire world into a global village by creating what we call as cyberspace.
Cyberspace is the common heritage of mankind but unfortunately some people misuse the common heritage and thus,
cyberspace has also become a new frontier of different type of crimes. While Internet has been providing immense
opportunities to individuals, organizations and nations in diverse areas, at the same time it has also given birth to a new
form of crime-cyber crime. Cybercrime is causing mind boggling financial losses to the order of trillions of dollars
worldwide. Unfortunately, most individuals and organizations are not aware of the enormity of this crime and its effects.
This is one area where ignorance is not bliss. Although many attempts have been made to control this fast spreading
menace of cybercrime at global level yet it has borne little results due to a various reasons. The object of this paper is to
have a comprehensive analysis of cybercrimes and offer some suggestions for legal control mechanism. |
