The proliferation of computer technology has led to the emergence of cybercrime. Two types of
cybercrime are cybertheft and cybervandalism. Define and give two examples of each. List
three reasons that cybercrime poses a significant challenge to traditional law enforcement.
What steps do you believe can be taken to help traditional law enforcement agencies address
these challenges? One common cybercrime that often is not adequately addressed by local law
enforcement agencies is identity theft. What is identity theft? What are some common ways

themselves from identity theft? In response to the threat presented by cybercrime, the FBI
developed Cyber’s Most Wanted (www.fbi.gov/wanted/cyber). Choose the profiles of two of
the FBI’s most wanted cybercriminals. Discuss the crime they are alleged to have committed
and the steps you believe can be taken to reduce the chances that such crimes will be
committed in the future.
