Computer technology is advancing rapidly every day and the gap between the computer
technology and the computer security is growing wider, providing vast number of
opportunities for computer crimes. This problem is compounded by the fact that many of
the computer users are unaware about the computer crimes and the criminals take benefit
of this fact.
It is necessary for computer users to have a good knowledge about the computer crimes
and their associated security threats. They must understand meaning of computer crime,
their types, and ways to recognize and prevent them.
Let us about the classification of computer crimes in the given video lecture.
Digital technology is surrounding in all strides of
existence, all over the world and has conveyed the factual significance of
globalization. At the one end cyber system delivers prospects to communicate
and at the other end certain individuals or community exploit its control for
criminal purposes. Criminals exploit the Internet and other network
communications which are universal in scope. Condition is disturbing that
Cyber- crime is an imminent and is talk of the town in every arena of the
society and system. Hypothetically and essentially this is an innovative
subject for scholars and is developing exponentially. Lot of work has been done
and endless has to be done because the innovation or upgradation of novel
technology leads to the technical crime, i.e., the digital or the cyber- crime
or the e-crime. This is because day by day a new technique is being developed
for doing the cybercrime and several times the appropriate investigating
technique to challenge that newly cyber- crime is lacking. Cybercrime is any
criminal activity involving computers and networks. It can range from deception
to unwanted emails also known as spams. It can consist of distant theft of
administration or business secrets through unlawful trespass into remote
systems around the world. Cybercrime includes anything from downloading
proscribed music archives to pilfering millions of moneys from online bank
accounts. Cybercrime also comprises non- monetary crimes, such as generating
viruses on other computers or posting classified business information on the
Internet. Most cybercrimes cannot be placed into a single crime category, which
makes statistical recording of this activity limited at best. Internet
associated activities are as susceptible to crime and can lead to persecution
as effectually as common physical crimes. The forms of crimes that are
presently going on have existed long before the Internet was around. By virtue
of the gadgets being used today to commit cybercrimes, criminals are now more
unspecified and provided with a virtual market of available victims. The
accountability falls on individuals to defend themselves and their families
through safe online practices. Cyber criminals are no different than conventional
criminals in that they want to make their cash as quickly and easily as
possible.

In India, due to social, cultural and traditional reasons
women are considered as homemakers and thus, their involvement in violent crime
is seen as a matter of surprise and disappointment. It is also because of the
erroneous belief that crime always takes place outside the house and not
inside. The area of criminality of women is still not a zone of priority
concern, probably because there number is very small. It is also because in
many criminal activities they are accomplishes of men, rather than carrying out
the crime themselves and executing the way men do.
Let us learn about the crimes by women through the given video lecture.
The term “crime against women‟ literally includes; all the
direct/indirect mental/physical cruelty to women. Each and every crime which is
aimed specifically against women and in which only women are victims could be
characterized as Crime against Women. It is equally important here to clarify
the concept of “Violence against women” (VAW). Violence which is also called
abuse, includes any sort of misbehave and physical aggression. VAW is a
collective term that refers to those violent acts which are exclusively and
primarily directed against women. When violence is committed at home it becomes
domestic violence and involves family members such as children, spouse, his
parents or the parents or relatives of a woman herself.
Domestic violence (also
named domestic abuse or family violence) is violence or
other abuse by one person against another in a domestic setting, such
as in marriage or cohabitation. It may be termed intimate partner violence when
committed by a spouse or partner in an intimate relationship against
the other spouse or partner, and can take place in heterosexual or same-sex
relationships, or between former spouses or partners. Domestic violence can
also involve violence against children, parents, or the elderly. It takes a
number of forms, including physical, verbal, emotional, economic, religious, reproductive,
and sexual abuse, which can range from subtle, coercive forms to marital
rape and to violent physical abuse such as choking, beating, female
genital mutilation, and acid throwing that results in disfigurement or
death. Domestic murders include stoning, bride burning, honor
killings, and dowry deaths.
Globally, the victims of domestic violence are overwhelmingly
women, and women tend to experience more severe forms of violence. They
are also likelier than men to use intimate partner violence in self-defense.
In some countries, domestic violence is often seen as justified, particularly
in cases of actual or suspected infidelity on the part of the woman,
and is legally permitted. Research has established that there exists a direct
and significant correlation between a country's level of gender
equality and rates of domestic violence, where countries with less gender
equality experience higher rates of domestic violence. Domestic violence is
among the most under reported crimes worldwide for both men and women. Due
to social stigmas regarding male victimization, men face an increased
likelihood of being overlooked by healthcare providers.

opportunities of becoming an independent
adult are the
major factors that influence
bonding with friends and family, choices and educational opportunities and more over the lifestyles.

youth, irrespective of social origin, gender or nationality , are subjected to risks and are being presented with new situations
and circumstances, some beneficial and some potentially harmful. Quite often, advantage of such illegal opportunities is
being taken as young people commit different crimes, become drug addict and may become violent.

The Computer crimes can be
classified as: -Violent, Non-Violent computer crimes. The
use of viruses, worms and Trojans to
infect a system and to spread itself over the network is not
new but the advancements achieved in these causes irreversible destruction to the infected system
and the network. Computer crimes
have risen so
dramatically over the recent years that they have replaced the
old-fashioned, organized crimes.
Let us all learn about these crimes in detail through the given video lecture.
Modus operandi is a Latin phrase, translated as "method of operation”. The term is used
to describe one's procedure of working, particularly in the context of criminal
investigations. It is often abbreviated as M.O. In general, modus operandi is the
behaviour indispensable for the effective commission of a crime.
Let us learn about Modus operandi and its importance in detail through the given video lecture.
A network structure is made up of minimum two or more
computers or nodes that are connected in an organized way to share resources,
exchange files and allows electronic communications. The computers on network
are generally linked though cables, radio waves, telephone lines, infrared
light beams, or satellites. A network may be defined as a multipurpose
connection, which allows an individual computer to do more.
The computer networks are required for the following
reasons:
1. File sharing: Networks allows us to
share data among the computers of other networks making the files available to
one and all at any time, wherever required. The data becomes available to each
one who is a component of the network.
2. Resource sharing: Resources like the
printer, servers and the internet are shared among these networks. It helps in
reducing the cost but increasing the data and resource availability.
3. Communication and
collaboration: Being a component of the network means we are able to unite
with different services and computers of different networks, thus increasing
the communication with the rest of the humankind.
4. Remote access: Remote access allows us
to access the resources remotely from anywhere without being present at the place
where the computer is. This makes accessing the resources easy.
