Cyber Crimes:

A white collar crime is a crime committed in a business or commercial environment for monetary gain.  White collar crimes are non-violent and the criminal acts are generally carried out by people in high profile positions such as managers, executives, or politicians.  Cyber crimes are criminal activities that are carried out through the use of the internet.  Common cyber crimes include fraud, identity theft, fishing, and virus distribution. 

The internet is a convenient and useful tool.  Unfortunately, the internet also presents easy opportunities for people to carry out cyber crimes.  Incidents of cyber crimes have become increasingly common.  Due to the escalating rate of these types of crimes, the U.S. has adapted strict laws and legal penalties to discourage people from committing cyber crimes.  Cyber crimes alone cost the United States’ economy over four billion dollars in year 2003.  Today, federal and state law strictly prohibits white collar crimes like cyber crimes. 

If a person is convicted of cyber crimes, he/she may be subject to life altering legal consequences such as:  monetary fines, imprisonment, probation, house arrest, and community service.  Punishments may be enhanced if the person has a prior criminal record or prior cyber crimes convictions.
