Cybercrime

Kizza (2014) addressed network attacks and intrusions broadly as “cybercrime” and attributed them largely to moral and ethical deficiencies of the perpetrators. Lessig (2006) approached law in the network largely in terms of computer “code” that defines what can and cannot be done with the network. In other words, Lessig found the issue of what constitutes a crime and who bears responsibility to be more ambiguous than does Kizza.

Search the Internet or the Saudi Digital Library to find two examples of activities that meet the definition of cybercrimes. (The LexisNexis Academic database in the Library provides searchable access to a wealth of news articles and features.)

Briefly summarize your examples and apply and criticize Kizza’s (2014) and Lessig’s (2006) positions on what constitutes a crime and who is responsible for the activities described in your examples. Identify at least two of the stated or unstated assumptions that underlie each of Kizza’s (2014) or Lessig’s (2006) arguments and specify at least two practical implications. Does Kizza’s (2014) or Lessig’s (2006) position apply better to either or both of your examples? Support your analysis by citing specific statements by these authors or at least two outside sources. You might want to look ahead to Lessig’s (2006) Chapter 3 for some more material.

Discuss and cite both course textbooks, Kizza’s (2014) Computer Network Security and Cyber Ethics and Lessig’s (2006) Code, and at least one additional credible, scholarly source to support your analysis and positions.

Your paper should meet the following structural requirements:

The paper should be 3 pages in length, not including the cover sheet and reference page.
Format according to APA University writing standards.
Provide support for your statements with in-text citations from a minimum of three scholarly resources. Two of these sources may be from the class readings, textbooks, or lectures, but one must be external. The Saudi Digital Library is a good place to find these references.
The match rate must not exceed than 15%.

Answer preview……….

The past decades have witnessed a rapid growth of the internet and mobile technology that has increased cybercrimes. The growth of cybercrimes has resulted in some people condemning the internet and some considering the partner technologies as responsible for creating new crimes through the internet. Technology has created an enabling environment where it helps in initiating and propagating the crimes. The contributing factor is that most people have to utilize the computers and the internet as a way of saving time and improving performance. Everyone appreciates the use of the internet albeit differently with some people using it as a platform for exploiting other people……….
