In any society, criminals are always involved. Whenever some other person has a good amount of money and has an excellent lifestyle along with their excellent paycheck, some other person who puts no applied effort into life finds this and robs them of it. The epitome of the old school criminals is the good old "hold you at gunpoint" breed. These criminals might lurk in some gloomy alley for all of your cash and jewels, and then leave you poor and hurt. This is the most memorable view of the old-style crook.
These kinds of crooks would be featured in the good old mafia movies, the ones so old they would be in a grainy black and white picture. Aside from their Hollywood glamour appearance though, these guys did some bad stuff. Not just the mafia members, but street criminals are responsible for most of the damage and fear many citizens have today. These guys were the ones who left horrible impressions on people walking the street, and were fodder for sensationalist news reports fueling the hysteria.
These men were the most evil of the bad in their era. They were the outcasts of society, the ones that, when families saw their bodies in court, would avert their children's gaze, as if their gaze had some strange power. These were the reasons that the United States treads lightly with its prison system. It is a strange thing that such an accepting society conjures: you have these boundless freedoms, yet it is just assumed that you will not abuse them. Unfortunately, while most of us take care of these stipulations, guys like these don't and it tears at the very foundation of our civilization.
The criminals of the olden days, the kind that would stop you in a desolate corridor with their various weapons and then pilfer all of your goods, although were at one time the worst of the worst, are child's play to our bad guys of recent. The criminals of today have one huge advantage: they have assimilated technology into their misdeeds. One might at first consider that technology is with the boys in blue, making it simpler and more efficient to get these criminals, but in fact it helps the crooks to hide themselves. The criminals have become one with the high-tech equipment and become very skilled in its use.
Consider the every day scene of crime A slick criminal who needed to get some cash would see an elegantly dressed individual, and judge their odds of being able to overpower them. Weapons brandished and in a concealed location they would threaten their victim, scare them with a gun, and tell them to hand over the wallet. Once they clean out the billfold, they would instruct the now impoverished person to pretend it never happened. They would then sprint all of the way to their hideout and lay low for a little while, until the police forgot about them.
In those times of old, only very rudimentary methods of catching the criminals existed, nothing like using satellite location and GPS tracking. These factors did not hurt the law too much though: with a well-staffed and highly trained police force, the thief was often caught quickly. There was not any tools of the trade they could make use of to try and scramble the evidence or hide themselves quickly. Once they were apprehended, there was no DNA clues to tie them at the crime scene, instead there was only a basic line-up and the victim, where the victim identified their abuser.
Technology to the rescue then, right? Unfortunately, this is not all true. While our steps in producing DNA tracking, fingerprints and other high tech commodities, these tools also aid the suspect's evasion of justice. An automobile is the highest technology a criminal today needs to disappear; it doesn't matter is they know the criminal's name. If they can't go out and get them, all of their data and leads are just paperweights. Many criminals, like hackers and identity thieves accomplish their economic raids through the web, so there is not a real crime scene!
A crime where there is no scene; the perfect crime. These online perpetration's are quite difficult for law enforcement, as there is no real site of the deed, and a criminal can conceal while online. Another harrowing fact is that these identity thieves and hackers, as was stated before, are not usually caught and carried to justice. So not many reliable ways through to effectively thwart them, we can only hope to preemptively hide ourselves from their attacks. Always be very wary online, and protect yourself with a variety of online safety tools. Steer clear of darkened alleyways!
