While developments in the field of information technology and technology—particularly in recent years—have offered humanity significant opportunities, they have also created a new environment for criminals. In this field, where terms such as “cyberspace” and “cyber environment” are commonly used, criminals can easily and often free of charge access vast criminal resources. For this reason, criminals are rapidly shifting from the physical to the cyber environment. Key factors driving this shift include delays in establishing legal definitions for this new criminal environment, relatively lenient criminal penalties, and the difficulty of identifying perpetrators. Accordingly, this course aims to equip students with knowledge about crimes committed in the field of information technology. |
