Combatting cybercrime through distributed security
by Susan W. Brenner, Leo L. Clarke
International Journal of Intercultural Information Management (IJIIM), Vol. 1, No. 3, 2009

Abstract: This article proposes a new model of law enforcement to deal with cybercrime. It argues that government can better control cybercrime by employing a system of 'distributed' security that uses criminal sanctions to require those who access cyberspace to employ reasonable security measures as deterrents. It explains why criminal sanctions are preferable in this context to civil liability, and outlines a system of administrative regulation backed by criminal sanctions that will provide the incentives necessary to create a workable deterrent to cybercrime.
