Consumers & Cyber Criminality

Due to the numerous unpredictable and controllable cyber-attacks, I concur that the internet was not designed with safety in mind. Banks and other vulnerable organizations have lost billions of dollars due to massive cyber-related crimes, but if security had been prioritized during the development of the internet, most likely the current crimes related to it would have been relatively minor. Utilizing the internet frequently could result in the transfer of knowledge that would be very helpful for offenders carrying out various types of cyber-attacks. The best programmers of viruses are considered to be those who create applications or any other types of software. These viruses are what are released to roam over the internet causing problems to the computer users.

(2) Cyber Storm DSH

Comment

Through collaborative preparation exercises, institutions vulnerable to dangers of cyber storm will be able to contain the resulting incidences of cyber-attacks. As the saying goes, experience is the best teacher, most institutions will be able to learn from cyber penetration exercises and consequently will be able to find ways of solving problems in the real world. The simulation exercises allows the companies to adopt better methods of sharing sensitive information to prevent the corruption of any data by maliciously created viruses. Following these simulation and database penetration exercises, it is notable that dangers related to cyber have been thwarted to some greater extents by the organizations. The cyber storm associations have played a major role in containing the cases of cybercrimes. These associations have been initiated by institutions conducting similar business activities. Combining expertise across all companies allows them to come up with better professional curbing mechanisms.

International Criminal Justice

(3) ICC’s Jurisdiction

Comment

Indeed, crimes against humanity, genocides and all manner of large scale crimes, committed by top personalities or any other individual, from an ICC member state, to some greater extent that a national court system may not offer justice to the affected, are normally handled at the ICC. A country like USA is not a member of the ICC but its citizens cannot escape prosecution at the ICC given that they commit crimes within the jurisdictions of an ICC state. Many countries have threaten to pull out of the ICC following the recent incidences that this independent court has failed to discharge its duties in a manner that convinces the member state that indeed it exercises no partiality. Several cases have been reported that some member countries are treated by the court unfairly.

Comparing Systems

Comment

Crimes are dealt with by systems that have been set by human in the form of laws. There are several types of crimes and they are solved differently. The argument remains that the law must prevail and justice is only rendered to the complainant once the other party is proven guilty. The various types of crimes committed by humans are normally dealt with according to the laws set. These laws vary according to the jurisdictions. Crimes categorized as criminal in nature are dealt with in accordance with the criminal law. On the other hand, crimes related to marriages and family issues are dealt with in accordance with the civil laws. In other words, the intrinsic differences between the legal systems are guided by the jurisdictions.

In several instances, the general public has demonstrated that they are not willing to offer support to the criminal justice system and the rule of law since most of these system are under the jurisdiction of the police. The police have been identified in several cases doing injustices to the public and consequently the most possible reason for their denial to cooperate with them. The police need to review their roles and adopt clear systems that makes their reputation clear with no crimes attached. The police need to serve people without being corrupt or favoritism.
