White collar crime and techno-crime

The author aims at exposing the complex nature of cybercrime which involves typical cyber crimes and white collar crimes committed by use of cyberspace. Technocrime is posing a great task to the Criminal Justice System as the contextual overlapping of cybercrime, and white collar cybercrimes require close from criminological studies to determine what specific criminal justice department should deal with the particular crime. Although cybercrime occurs in cyberspace and white-collar crime occurs in suites, cybercrime is seen to draw much international attention since it involves crime through technology such as the internet. On the other hand, white collar crime also has international attention, but since it involves human interaction, it does not present such difficulty for investigators in investigating the case.

However, technology has now become a focal point for many white collars criminal that are hacking and conducting their criminal activity via the internet for monetary gains. Contrary, the rise and spread of the internet space has led to massive advancement of these forms of crimes making each almost similar to each other. For instance, traditionally, for a crime to occur, there must have been personal interaction between the criminal and the victim. Today, cyberspace has promoted other new methods of committing crimes such as robbery, sexual assaults, threats, and coercion. Hence, utilization of cyberspace has made it easy for criminals to commit some of the crimes via technology. From the above discussion; I believe that criminological researchers are faced with a complex issue of studying the nature of cyber crime.
