A gap exists between current trends in cybercrime and the government’s response via legislation and regulations. In the face of jurisdictional issues, constitutional issues, and a complex maze of federal and local statutes, it is difficult to identify a cohesive and efficient legal response to the ever evolving nature of computer related crimes. Rapidly advancing technology and its use in criminal behavior makes it difficult for legislation to keep pace in efforts to prevent and address cybercrime. There is a pressing need to implement strategies to better prepare for emerging trends in crime and to coordinate with a variety of business, social, and educational institutions; all levels of government; and other nations around the world.
For this Discussion, consider the ramifications of legislation being unable to keep pace with emerging uses of technology for criminal behavior.
Post by Day 4 a description of two possible ramifications of legislation being unable to keep pace with emerging uses of technology for criminal behavior. Then provide possible ways to address each ramification. Finally, explain any impacts on society of legislation being unable to keep pace with emerging uses of technology for criminal behavior.
