Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtual economies and financial crime are ever-growing, increasingly significant facets to banking, finance and anti-money laundering regulations on an international scale. In this pathbreaking and timely book, these two important issues are explored together for the first time in the same place. Clare Chambers-Jones examines the jurisprudential elements of cyber law in the context of virtual economic crime and explains how virtual economic crime can take place in virtual worlds. She looks at the multi-layered and interconnected issues association with the increasing trend of global and virtual banking via the 'Second Life' MMOG (Massively Multiplayer Online Game). Through this fascinating case study, the author illustrates how virtual worlds have created a second virtual economy which transgresses into the real, creating economic, political and social issues. Loopholes used by criminals to launder money through virtual worlds (given the lack of jurisdictional consensus on detection and prosecution) are also highlighted. The importance of providing legal clarity over jurisdictional matters in cyberspace is an increasing concern for policymakers and regulators, and this book provides a wealth of information on new aspects of cyber law and virtual economics. As such, it will prove essential reading for academics, students, researchers and policymakers across the fields of law generally, and more specifically, financial law and regulation, finance, money and banking, and economic crime.

Download or read book Economic Crimes and ICT Response of The Nigerian Criminal Law written by Ibrahim Yusuf Arowosaiye and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2014-09-26 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focuses on the response of the Nigerian criminal legislations to the contemporary phenomenon of economic and financial crimes and ICT as enabler. The study critically examines the adequacies or otherwise of the existing Nigerian criminal legislations, Shariah Penal Code inclusive, to meet the facets of challenges posed by the prevalence of economic and financial crimes and ICT infrastructures as facilitating tools. The continuous legislative and non-legislative measures undertaken by the past and present Nigerian government in response to the growing trend of this menace are highlighted in the study. Since technology has made national borders more permeable, economic and financial crimes are no longer a local phenomenon but a global problem. Thus, the study employed a methodological evaluation of the common themes and varying national and international perspectives that come into play in response to the phenomenon. This study reveals that the existing Nigerian criminal legislations are grossly inadequate to address the prevailing problem of ICT related economic crimes.

Download or read book The Global Cybercrime Industry written by Nir Kshetri and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-06-25 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Internet’s rapid diffusion and digitization of economic activities have led to the emergence of a new breed of criminals. Economic, political, and social impacts impacts of these cyber-criminals’ activities have received considerable attention in recent years. Individuals, businesses, and governments rightfully worry about the security of their systems, networks, and IT infrastructures. Looking at the patterns of cybercrimes, it is apparent that many underlying assumptions about crimes are ?awed, unrealistic, and implausible to explain this new form of criminality. The empirical records regarding crime patterns and stra- gies to avoid and ?ght crimes run counter to the functioning of the cyberworld. The ?elds of hacking and cybercrime have also undergone political, social, and psychological metamorphosis. The cybercrime industry is a comparatively young area of inquiry. While there has been an agreement that the global cybercrime industry is tremendously huge, little is known about its exact size and structure. Very few published studies have examined economic and institutional factors that in?uence strategies and behaviors of various actors associated with the cybercrime industry. Theorists are also debating as to the best way to comprehend the actions of cyber criminals and hackers and the symbiotic relationships they have with various players.

This book was released on 2022-11-21 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Law - Data protection, grade: 71.0, , course: Digital Law, language: English, abstract: This study examines the stand point of Nigerian criminal law on Information and Communications Technology (ICT), the jurisprudence of an emerging E-law, the Impact of Information Technology on court process and how ICT has changed the face of crime. It further appraises selected concepts associated with ICT in contemporary issues as they relate. This study shall rely on both primary and secondary sources of information. The primary sources include the Evidence Act 2011, The Economic Financial Crimes Commission Act, Criminal Code 2004, Cybercrimes Act 2015 and International Conventions. The secondary source includes textbooks, journals, articles, opinions of legal luminaries and the internet. The ICT revolution has brought along Computer Crimes (cyber-crimes) which poses a serious challenge to the Nigerian Judiciary. Issues of Criminal Trespass into another computer, theft of computer data, the use of internet to commit or aid in the commission of fraud could hardly be established through the conventional standards of evidence in the Nigeria criminal system. Most statutes both substantive and subsidiary are not ICT proactive. In fact, some laws and rules of procedure run counter to ICT regime. These have to be reviewed before electronic and computer-generated evidence can be admissible in our courts13. Commercial transactions that are electronically conducted will be difficult to establish under the Evidence Act because of non-compliance with some provisions of the Act. For instance, it would not be possible under the Act to prove PIN number as representing signatures in a transaction that was conducted electronically. Increased inflow of foreign investors and development partners whose systems are wholly ICT based would compel the Nigerian Courts to embrace IT, otherwise confidence of these investors and partners may be eroded. Provision and maintenance of ICT infrastructure and equipment is capital intensive. The Nigerian Judiciary, particularly in the states, lack the resources to undertake the venture. Added to this is the problem of our maintenance culture, erratic power supply and poor capacity building.

Download or read book Financial Crime and Gambling in a Virtual World written by Clare Chambers-Jones and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this unique book, the authors examine the relationship between real world legislation and new advancements in technology, showing how this can lead to loopholes in legislative protection. They draw on empirical research to highlight the jurisprudential issues relating to economic internet crime and digital currencies. Advancements in technology have seen gambling behaviour transverse a new path. The law has not kept pace with such advances, leaving grey areas of concern undiscussed and unregulated.The authors provide a critical discussion on laws relating to gambling in virtual worlds, commenting that terms such as 'virtual' or 'fantasy' are unhelpful in promoting effective legislation. The discussion reveals how virtual world gambling can lead on to other criminal acts within virtual worlds, and specifically examines the notion of cybercrime, economic internet crime and the problems associated with digital currencies. The book concludes by presenting the case for joined up national and international legislation to tackle virtual world crimes effectively. This distinctive study will appeal to researchers and advanced students with an interest in cybercrime, economic internet crime and virtual economies. Practitioners, policy-makers and law enforcement officers will find this book informative in promoting suitable legislation to encompass new technologies in economic crime.
