What is one reason why successfully prosecuting computer crimes is so challenging?
A.
There is no way to capture electrical data reliably.
B.
The evidence in computer cases does not follow best evidence directives.
C.
These crimes do not always fall into the traditional criminal activity categories.
D.
Wiretapping is hard to do legally.
Explanation:
C: We have an infrastructure set up to investigate and prosecute crimes: law enforcement, laws, lawyers, courts, juries, judges, and so on. This infrastructure has a long history of prosecuting traditional crimes. Only in the last ten years or so have computer crimes been prosecuted more regularly; thus, these types of crimes are not fully rooted in the legal system with all of the necessary and useful precedents.
