Focus on the Suggested Topic

It is a new frontier, and there are old traditional forms of crime being committed electronically, and via computers and the Internet. But there are also new crime types emerging. Electronic crime really does cross over a whole range of different crime types. You can imagine stalking offences that may be facilitated via email, harassment, threatening emails, small-scale fraud offences, right up through to large-scale frauds committed via the Internet.
