As the technology continues to advance, cyber-crime, also known as internet crime or computer crime, is becoming more prevalent means of violating the rights of individuals both here in the United States and abroad. Sensitive information like financial information, credit information, and even one’s social security information can now be accessed with the click of a mouse anywhere. Because of the widespread and random nature of then, cyber-crimes have a tendency to go undetected from a great period of time.

In response to this growing field of criminal behavior, many law enforcement agencies have created internet crime task forces to apprehend individuals with intent to commit internet based crimes. Specifically, a number of law enforcement agencies have dedicated resources towards apprehending perpetrators of sexual crimes who largely operate through the use of the internet.

• Accessing child pornography
