Conclusion

Obviously computer crime is on the rise, but so is the awareness and ability to fight it.  Law enforcement realizes that it is happening more often than it is reported and are doing there best to improve existing laws and create new laws as appropriate.  The problem is not with the awareness or the laws, but with actually reporting that a crime has occurred.  Hopefully people will begin to realize that unless they report these crimes and get convictions, those committing computer crimes will continue to do so.

Thank You…
