this week we learned about the laws and crimes on the internet. The crimes on the internet, for the most part are the same as in every other area of life. People steal, sell illegeally and gamble. Even more they can target children much easier than in the past. Therefore, if you have children you should place restrictions on you computer. You can learn more about this at Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (Coppa).
It can be very difficult to go after people who do crimes over the internet. One of the biggest issues in fighting crime over the internet is, Who has jurisdiction? Even more, most of our laws deal with the phyiscal and not cyber space or a virtural world. So how do fight these kind of crimes? We all need to you our most powerful weapon which is, our Voice. We need to let our government know that we want laws passed in this area to protect us. The US Government has a website that you can learn more about these crimes and jurisdiction at US Department Of Justice Cybercrime.

Crime over the Internet was a great blog. It is very informative especially for parents. Know I know how to submit my request to our government to increase regulations on the Internet.
Thanks
Great job on your blog! Reading it felt like I was reading about what you are thinking on NOT you trying to just restate what we learned in class. I can see that you were applying what we learned in class to a particular subject.
