CRIME HIGHNESS; The need for IT knowledge

CRIMINOLOGY as a discipline under sociology is nothing but the study of crime in a scientific way/application of science in studying crime. Crime science involves the application of scientific methodologies to prevent or reduce social disorder and find better ways to prevent, detect, and solve crimes all see crime as the part and parcel of every society, the study of crime is just not about post-crime actions but also pre-crime measures and the two has been in process since the development of criminology as a course.

From the knowledge in criminology what constitutes a crime is nixed because of different views of scholars, these views majorly talk about time, place (society). The progression of crime into cyberspace brings about cyber criminology which is the study of the causation of crimes that occur in cyberspace and their impact on the physical space as a sub-discipline of criminology whose founder is the developer of space transition theory Prof. Karuppannan Jaishankar(Indian Criminologist).

This evolution of cyber criminology is to surmount the "highness of crime" in cyberspace but moreover, there is a need for both criminologists and cyber criminologists to acquire Information Technology knowledge such as coding, tracking, and all other aspected of IT as cybercrime is among the most committed crime now.

HOW DOES INTERNET ADDICTION MAKES US VULNERABLE?

When we talk about the internet, we're talking about a massive network of information. It's unavoidable in our period, given the speed with which the world is evolving technologically. I frequently refer to the internet as a "global connector," because it connects people from all over the world. Because messages are transmitted in a matter of seconds, I call it "air messenger." All of the above can be accomplished through a variety of channels, including Whatsapp, Facebook, Telegram, Twitter, Koo, 2go, and others. Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo Mail are among the various email programs available. What is the definition of addiction? Addiction is defined as an individual's inability to stop using a technology, substance, engaging in a behavior, or participating in an event without contemplating the consequences, which may include psychological or physical harm.

CRIME AS A DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD

In a simple definition crime is the violation of criminal law; the term however has deffer from one place, time to another. For example, what constitutes a crime in Nigeria might not be in the Gambia, Ghana, or United States although some acts are globally accepted as crimes, this act includes Rape, Murder. Despite the fact that those acts are globally accepted as crimes, crime doesn't have a global meaning/definition. Scholars like Paul Tappan, Lanier and Henry, and others try to define crime in their own context. According to (Lanier and Henry, 2001) Crime is an intentional act in violation of the criminal law committed without defense or excuse and penalized by the state as a felony or misdemeanor. Paul Tappan also defines crime as “an intentional act or omission in violation of criminal law …, committed without defense or justification, and sanctioned by the state as a felony or misdemeanor.” The two definitions all talk about the violation of crim...

INEC: we’ll conduct 2019 polls with existing laws

Advocates of a new electoral law may have lost their battle. President Muhammadu Buhari has returned the Electoral Bill to the National Assembly, stating why he did not sign it. And yesterday, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said it was moving ahead with its preparation for next year’s general elections despite the President’s stand. INEC Chairman Prof. Mahmood Yakubu said the commission would conduct next year’s election using the exiting laws that are presently valid and in place. He said the commission would not be distracted by the wrangling between the Presidency and National Assembly. INEC, Yakubu added, is fine-tuning its processes and procedures to ensure it delivered a good election next year. He spoke at a national peace conference on 2019 general elections organised by Youngstar Development Initiative with support from the National Democratic Initiative. The INEC chairman, who was represented by National Commissioner and Chairman, ...
