    The internet is a rapidly expanding technology and is a global phenomenon utilizing a medium for sharing forms of digital communication. Underground classes of criminals leverage cyber technology in furtherance of their criminal goals while investigators attempt to parry by detecting and apprehending these criminals – this through a constant state of leveraging existing techniques or creating new ones. Developing investigative techniques requires experience and the ability to evolve – a reactive learning curve following behind the wake of a technocratic society. In United States v. Anthony V.

    In the article “The Internet is a surveillance state”, which appeared on CNN.com on March 16, 2013, Bruce Schneier claims the government can see our every move on the internet.

    Viktor Mayer-Schönberger expresses his concern for the future of society with the increasing prevalence of media forums and surveillance systems in the chapter, “Failing to Forget the Drunken Pirate,” from his book, Delete: The Virtue of Forgetting in the Digital Age, which was published in 2009. Specifically, his main concern is with society’s changing nature of forgetting information and remembering exceptions to remembering becoming a default as forgetting becomes an exception.

    1. Although criminal justice requires the correct label to be attached to the defendant’s misconduct, the wide scope of behaviour covered by the Homicide Act 1957 often results in the unfair, and thus harsh, labelling of offenders. This essay will sought to prove that the law of homicide is often too harsh in its assignation of labels to those who cause the death of others, by concentrating on the examples of murder with oblique intent, involuntary manslaughter and the partial defence of infanticide. It will conclude by determining the extent to which the existing law assigns the correct labels to those who commit a homicide, and whether there is thus a need for reform within the law.…

    There were many negative and positive effects that came from 9/11. Some of these effects only lasted for a short period of time to help protect and defend the American public.
