Application: Technology and Cyber-Stalking
Rapidly advancing technologies
present both challenges to and solutions for law enforcement. One challenge
related to the tracking and apprehension of cyber-stalkers revolves around
jurisdiction. A cyber-stalker could harass you from around the block, another
state, or across the world. This creates jurisdictional issues that must be
taken into consideration when new legislation is developed related to
cyber-stalking. Another challenge is determining the appropriate penalty for
cyber-stalking. Stalking is a crime that leaves emotional scars, which can make
the damage difficult to assess.
As criminals use technology in new
ways for cyber-stalking, law enforcement agencies use technology in new ways
for tracking and apprehending cyber-stalkers. Many of the larger law
enforcement agencies have computer crime units and receive training from
cyber-forensics professors.
For this assignment, think about ways
law enforcement might use technology to track and apprehend cyber-stalkers.
Consider challenges law enforcement might face in tracking the behavior of
cyber-stalkers. Then review penalties for engaging in cyber-stalking behavior
in your state or country of residence. Think about the degree to which the
penalties are adequate for penalizing cyber-stalkers.
