What is the difference between high-tech crime and traditional forms of criminal activity? Will the high-tech crimes of today continue to be the high-tech crimes of tomorrow? Why?

What will be an ideal response?


The main difference between high-tech and traditional crime is that cybercriminals are not hampered by national or international boundaries. Information and property can be easily transmitted through communication and data networks. Unlike traditional crimes, the offender, the victim, and the evidence may be in vastly distant locations; offenders do not have to contact with victims.

As technology advances, it facilities new forms of behavior, so tomorrow's crimes will differ from those of today. Advancing technologies will create new opportunities for criminals.
