Why might cybercrime appeal to people who would not commit crimes like burglary or robbery?

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Answers will vary. Students should note that cybercriminals do not need to be in contact with their victims or put themselves in harm's way in order to commit crimes. The lack of contact may depersonalize the victim and make the crime seem less important. The lack of physical danger may make it seem less damaging.
