As the years go by we can attest to the fact that technology has

had its way in the better parts of our life. Most parts of the

world experience the benefits that are related to technology.

However, the luck of limitation in the technological sector

serves interest both in the positive and negative way. High

profiled criminals have emerged with technological ways that

they utilize in executing their missions. This particular factor

has led to the need for advancement in technology in all the

criminology departments. For instance the use of finger prints

for identification of persons who have a hand in a crime has

been sabotaged by criminals. These culprits now use gloves

whenever they are on a mission to rob a bank or a home thus it

becomes difficult for the investigation department to

determine the true perpetrators of crime.

The world war two acted as a catalyst to the technology that is

applied in the world today in regards to making of weapons

and even bombs. The financial sector happens to be one of the

fields that have suffered great losses because of technological

robberies. In the current world, advanced criminals find no

necessity to rob banks in person; instead they sit home at their

comfort zones and hack the online banking systems wiring the

money to their own bank accounts and no one will be able to

follow them.

This is a serial crime no one is injured during the execution of

such acts but the truth is that great losses are incurred

whenever these types of malicious acts are undertaken. We

cannot say that all is lost in regard to the fight against crime

because the advantage that the criminology department have is

that they come up with strategies on how to pin down

criminals and all the culprits do is sabotage. This means there

is still hope of coming up with a formulae that will totally cub

this menace.

In 2-3 paragraphs, summarize the

main findings in your source.

The existence of digital piracy in the current world has led to

the devastation of many governments because they experience

numerous losses because of the rampant cases of piracy.

Criminals who are eager to make a quick living through

making duplicates of original music albums, movies and

software have turned into illegal selling of these materials

which has led to the loss of revenue to governments and they

have even made these industries stall because they make very

little profits from their sales. Countries have come up with

various laws and regulations that govern the production and all

activities that are involved in this industry.

The licensing of distributors has also facilitated in taming this

inhuman trait amongst people who opt for dubious means to

make a living. When a producer, a singer or a brainchild of a

software experiences loss, it basically implies that the

economic sector is suffering thus countries will grow at a very

slow rate leading to high costs of living. However, producers

and inventors of software have also come up with ways that

can help any individual to certify that whatever they are

purchasing is original. This includes; checking the quality of

what you are purchasing and looking for standardization

marks, watermarks and even seals of respective companies.

The use of advertisements has also played a major role in

educating the public on knowing the components of an

original item before purchasing them from distributors.

Monitoring a child’s behavior is a very important aspect

because it ensures that one grows to be a responsible human

being who will have respect for the society and the people

therein. Deviant behavior is what has resulted to the high

numbers of criminals in our current world. This eventuality

should be blamed on the parents because it is the sole

responsibility of every parent to ensure that his or her child

gets instilled with proper traits that will help the child become

an asset and not a liability to the society. Decision making is

also a vital aspect in our life because wrong choices lead to

dire consequences whereas informed decisions help us to be

better people in any place that we live in.

Key findings (6 pts)

In 2-3 paragraphs, summarize the

main findings in your source.

Advancement in technology is the major reason why crime

has reached at its pick in the current world. The notion of

making quick money has engulfed the minds of many

teenagers who prefer to drop out of school and they later

become full time cyber criminals. Career counselors and

motivational speakers have missed a mark on this, if by any

chance their offices in institutions such as universities and

high schools are still significant then we are of the idea that

they should come out of their comfort zones and advice

teenagers on the importance of being in school and the pride

that is associated with making honest money.

Individuals who are entrusted with this mandate in our

various institutions should show utmost care and concern to

each and every student and also help them comprehend that

life consists of different seasons. There might be a season

where everything seems to have gone wrong but there surely

will be a season that will come with very many opportunities

that will be left for the student to explore at his or her own

pleasure. The attitude that has been created amongst many

students is that learning is a waste of time and all that one

needs to make it in life is money. The most unfortunate part of

this fallacy is that after one acquires quick money, fame is now

sought and this process has led to the demise of many.

Though it is almost impossible to capture this teenagers who

have ensured that the society does not enjoy financial peace,

there are several statutes and laws that have been put in place

so as to ensure that once these individuals are arrested they

face very harsh penalties that serves as a lesson to the others

who might have the same character. Cyber Fraud has been on

the rise and this is as a result of the high cases of school

dropouts who have vowed not to go back to school and all they

think about is making money and having fun. Most of the

teenagers take cybercrimes as an easy bridge to cross because

it requires little knowledge and its benefits are immense.

Teamwork, flexibility and responsiveness are what shall assist

all criminology departments in ensuring that the rate at which

this problem is at reduces drastically. Even if it is not possible

to bring all cyber criminals to book let there be arrests that will

Combining Psychological and Sociological Theories for Better Understanding and

Sociological Theories for Better Understanding and

Key findings (6 pts)

In 2-3 paragraphs, summarize the

main findings in your source.

Serial killing is also a crime that has crept into the society and

it is the reason behind the rampant cases of murder. Every

human being was brought up in a different way; it all depends

on the home that one was raised in. If by any chance an

individual was raised in a house where family wrangles were

the order of the day then it becomes difficult for that person to

live at peace with almost everyone. This is because there is

psychological distortion on the brain and the sociological

foundation under which the individual was brought up in is

wanting. The mind of such a person can never have peace

unless it engages in violence and mostly it is physical

violence.

This is an unfortunate character but we cannot blame it on the

perpetrator whatever is fed on a child during the early ages is

what will form the basis of his thinking even when he or she

grows to be a full grown adult. This means that parents should

be cautious enough that whenever there are family wrangles

they solve them behind closed doors where children cannot

reach them and they should also be quick to rebuke bad

behavior that might end up growing in the children.

Diverse cultures is also one thing that has contributed to most

serial killings, whenever a husband disagrees with the wife on

the way a certain thing should be done just because they air

out different views on the same issue, the husband might end

up killing the wife because of his hot temper. Almost all

people who have done this always say that it was not their

intention to murder their loved ones; this is true because the

only thing that can help one to reason at such a time that is the

mind which is normally under siege by temper and hurting

emotions that leads to such in human acts. Criminals who are

mostly men like blaming their actions on their victims. For

instance when a man is accused of raping a girl, he will

defend himself by saying that the lady was putting on a dress

that was sexually appealing thus he could not control his

feelings and the only option was to rape the lady. The ironical

part is that the man may insist that the lady should be charged

for sexual violence. This all happens because there is a

problem with the psychological state of the man and the

manner in which the same individual is brought up in happens

to be one that is encrypted with such type of violence.

main findings in your source.

The fight against Cyber crime requires team work and

consensus between the interested parties. This implies that

when countries and institutions are divided then it becomes

difficult to attain the main aim which is pinning down cyber

criminals and ensuring that they go down completely. The

agreement between The United States of America and China is

a good gesture to the rest of the world. Other countries should

follow the example given to them by these two nations. Cyber

crime is not limited to one country thus no one can claim that

he or she can fight it independently.

Even with good resources we still have to work in unison so

as to achieve our major aim. Through conveying talks that

shall give room for every party to give out ideas on how best

cybercrime can be solved, we shall slowly but surely be

getting to the purposed solution. These meetings shall help in

coming up with strategies such establishment of laws both

locally and internationally that shall be used to charge any

cyber criminal and also coming up with hotlines that shall give

whistle blowers easy time whenever they suspect that such a

crime is being committed in a specific place and by a

particular group or individual.

The safety of the whistle blowers should also be assured

since one may find him or herself in trouble in case the

criminals come looking for him or her. It is momentous for us

to also be cognizant to the fact that high level intelligence is

needed in executing this particular task. Whenever an

individual suspects that something fishy is going in a

particular building or place an ambush by the police would not

be the best option of arresting such criminals. The officers can

disguise themselves and this shall help them to arrest all of

them and even learn their tricks and ways.

In 2-3 paragraphs, summarize the

main findings in your source.

Many countries have suffered a great deal in regards to cyber

crime and a good example is China. Most of the losses

incurred in this country are cyber related and it’s because the

country has a good technological system but the legislators

have not come up with reasonable solutions that protect this

sites from fraud and other malicious acts that are cyber related.

The leaking of personal information on the internet is one of

the problems that China faces as a country.

This has resulted to people losing their funds that are on

online platforms. Legal systems in all countries that have such

experiences should rise to the occasion and ensure that there

are regulations that govern the usage of the internet in their

countries. Scammers have become wide spread all over the

world because there is no legal system that is able to

apprehend them moreover security systems are still

incapacitated when it comes to following up this cases. It not

possible to arrest and apprehend someone you cannot see thus

countries should work at improving their technological

systems especially in tracking down computerized machines

that are being used for the wrong purposes. Via doing this the

world shall be able to enjoy the financial peace that it has been

deprived with the current generation.
