I am a high school student from Maryland doing a report on crime and deviance for my sociology class. More specifically, I was assigned to do a report on cyber-crime. As required by the assignment, I need to gather information from a primary source. I was wondering if I could get someone from here to give their opinion by answering 3 questions for me. You can answer them in this post if you would like or you could email them to me at:
ksoskey@yahoo.com
And if you could, please include your name so I can give you credit in my paper.
3 Questions:
1. In your opinion, why do you think people commit cyber-crimes, such as hacking or identity theft?
2. What do prosecutors generally go for when trying to convict a cyber-criminal, do they use things like the DMCA?
3. What is the general attitude towards people that commit cyber-crime? Do the accused get a "slap on the wrist" or are they punished to the fullest extent of the law?
