The Internet has become a virtual reality where people can do whatever they want. This has contributed to the increase in Internet crime. Although it is becoming an increasingly larger part of crime, cybercrime will not be the only form of crime; it is not possible that crime only exists on the Internet. In some ways, Internet crimes are worse than physical crimes because the Internet is like a virtual reality for online predators. They can be whoever they want to be. It is also not very difficult for an experienced hacker to steal another person's identity. ("Cybercrime - Definitions") However, some types of crimes would no longer exist, making the elimination of other types of crimes unrealistic. These include all types of physical crimes. Some examples are: drunk driving, shoplifting, murder, etc. The Internet is becoming an increasingly dangerous place. This is due to the fact that on the Internet you can be anyone you want. Cybercrimes can be divided into two groups. viruses, code, hacking, spam and vandalism. ("Cyber ​​crime") The second group includes crimes using computer networks. These include: identity theft (the most common Internet crime), Internet scams, cyber stalking, fraud, harassment. drug trafficking, cyber terrorism, copyright infringement, child pornography and disposal of stolen goods (black market). All of the crimes listed above exist successfully on the Internet. However, Internet crimes cannot be prosecuted online and enforcement cannot exist exclusively online. People who commit crimes online can be found, but then have to be physically tracked down for prosecution. All other aspects... half of the paper... more and more people are becoming computer literate.
