Policing cybercrime

Policing cybercrime
Policing cybercrime
Policing is an organized form of order maintenance, rule enforcement, crime investigation, and crime prevention (White, 2020). Policing has to be based on a police strategy concerned with choices to reach policing goals (Ortmeier & Davis, 2012: 29). In policing white-collar crime online, technology knowledge is certainly more important than anticipated public facing interpersonal skills. It is argued in this chapter that the offender-based perspective is more important than the offense-based perspective on white-collar crime, as prosecuting offenders for offenses is the result of successful police investigations. Therefore, technology knowledge in policing white-collar offenders online should concentrate on offenders’ use of various tools and systems to commit and conceal financial crime.

Abstract

Policing is an organized form of order maintenance, rule enforcement, crime investigation, and crime prevention (White, 2020). Policing has to be based on a police strategy concerned with choices to reach policing goals (Ortmeier & Davis, 2012: 29). In policing white-collar crime online, technology knowledge is certainly more important than anticipated public facing interpersonal skills. It is argued in this chapter that the offender-based perspective is more important than the offense-based perspective on white-collar crime, as prosecuting offenders for offenses is the result of successful police investigations. Therefore, technology knowledge in policing white-collar offenders online should concentrate on offenders’ use of various tools and systems to commit and conceal financial crime.
