Cyber technology has changed the way victims and offenders interact vastly. Advances in technology have made it so offenders and victims never or very rarely interact. If you take a classic phone scammer for example. This person still has to call people and try to scam them through the phone. This is still being interactive with the victim however it’s not face to face so its harder for the victim to track down who is doing this to them. Not all scams are like this however, many happen without the victim even knowing what’s going on. Hackers can get people’s information and sell it from a variety of sources online and people won’t even know their information has been compromised most of the time. These people can obtain sensitive info like bank passwords or email addresses from your own computer or even from a server at a company you may have used and stored your data. This form of victim to offender interaction is non-existent. Most of the time the offender has no idea who the victim is and just steals information they can get their hands on. Between these two methods of crime they both have some things in common. First they are both crimes and are hard to track down due to the encounter being online or through the phone. Secondly, they both have very little interaction with victims if any interaction at all. This lack of interaction leads to less remorse for hackers and scammers because they don’t see themselves stealing from people but simply from a machine, which makes it easier for them mentally to continue doing what they are doing. Technology has impacted the way victims and offenders interact and it’s in a way that favors the offender and puts the victims at even more risk.
