The governments of the world need to approach laws towards cyber crimes with a flexibility. I know this is a falsehood because this will probably never happen. The laws now need to be joint in scope with large number of countries on board with decisions towards punishments and how things are handled. No country wants to give up their rights to make their own laws, and i am not saying they should. I believe with the advent of the web that laws pertaining to the web should be copycat style and agreed upon by nations. This way it can protect the most and provide guidelines for catching and prosecution of agents. These laws and guidelines also need to be reviewed on the regular. The world in which these criminals work and pry is and will be forever changing rapidly. The governments can not be stagnant and slow to keep up. this would provide the criminal agents almost free rein to do as they please. The governments need to work together in this arena to protect their citizens from the cyber crimes and protect the web from becoming a wasteland that is not safe to do anything in.

The technology boom has made the interactions between criminal and victims one where criminals feel they don’t see them, then all is good. This is where the criminal has no face or knowledge of the victim or they live on the other side of the planet , that it to them probably feels like a victimless crime. See no victim, hear no victim, No victim. The technology has also made it even easier for criminals who want to victimize a person to attack them and stay anonymous. This has made it harder to find the criminal and take them down. The rise of technology and social media has made it easier to bully each other and to join in on the bulling to no end. Technology has so, so many positive uses that they do out way the negative, but the negative ones can be very harmful in the wrong hands. This is still true today with so many things. We as the users of the technology need to police and protect each other as much as we can.
