2. Over the past few decades, the need for computer technology
has greatly increased. Users now turn to many forms of
"computers" for daily tasks. Therefore, digital crime has also
increased. Two factors that I believe have led to the explosive
growth of digital crime
1. Identity Theft- Since computers are used for almost
everything we do in life, many of us enter too much personal
information into these devices. This personal information is
now out there for hackers to retrieve and use in the theft of our
identity.
2. Credit Card Fraud- An increase of online purchases and bill
payment has allowed for credit card information to become
more vulnerable to theft and/or fraud.
I believe these are the most common forms of digital crimes
because they are the most commonly used by individuals.
Three types of digital crime include:
1. Cyber Stalking- Enforced by the FBI
2. Viruses- Enforced by The Secret Service
3. Piracy- Enforced by the ICE, FBI, and HIS

3. "Tort Law and Police Powers"
Please respond to the following:
·
From the e-Activity, specify the key differences between
criminal law and tort law. Next, explain the common approaches
that the judicial system takes in order to ensure that the public
upholds these two (2) types of laws. Provide one (1) specific
example of cases in which the judicial system applies these
approaches to support your response.
·
In the context of criminal law, what is "substantive law," and
what is "procedural law?" What are the meanings and
differences between these 2 terms? As a member of society,
which of these 2 types of law are you generally more aware of?
·
For a bonus point, how is "substantive" pronounced? (Hint:
The narrator of our Week 1 lecture did not pronounce this word
correctly!) In your pronunciation, be sure to show which
syllable is emphasized as well as how the word is pronounced.

RE: Week 1 Discussion
Criminal Law
is a set of rules and statutes that the federal government has
identified as a crime. The conduct that has been committed
could cause harm to public safety and well-being which can

4. establish punishment that can be imposed for the commission of
the acts. The defendant is charged with a crime such as murder,
burglary, robbery or theft. The legal action is initiated by the
prosecutor on behalf of people and society at large. The state
must prove that the defendant is guilty beyond reasonable
doubt. The punishment received can be incarceration, a fine, or
sometimes the death penalty.
A
tort
is the wrongful act that causes an injury to another person or
another person’s property or reputation. Tort law provides the
injured party with a remedy, usually in the form of money. This
is usually tried in civil court. There is not a burden of proof
required for a tort. The penalty for a tort is monetary. There is
not any jail time involved. The person who feels wronged or
injured is the one who decides whether to file a civil suit.
One example that I found took place in 2014. A jury awarded a
family nearly $2 million dollars in compensatory and punitive
damages. Four Denver police officers entered into the home
without a warrant. Apparently, they thought they were raiding
the home of some drug dealers. The drug dealers moved out the
month before. The officers tried to cover up the mistake by
arresting the family claiming that they assaulted the officers.
The criminal charges were dropped. The family turns around
and sues the police department. The officers were never
disciplined for their actions.
If a crime is committed, the defendant can be punished
depending on what the crime is. There are sentencing
guidelines that are available for the court system to use make
sure that the defendant is being sentenced properly. This is
done to keep personal feelings out of the sentencing guidelines.
States have adopted a variety of laws attempting to limit
frivolous lawsuits. According to Reinhart, “the Federal Rule of
Civil Procedure 11 is the primary sanction for frivolous claims”
(Reinhart, 1998). The judge can also hand out a penalty for
filing a frivolous lawsuit.

Limit Them, and Laws in Other States

Substantive Law deals with the law that establish the rights and
obligations of individuals, what individuals can or cannot do.
Procedural law basically deals with the ways in which
substantive law can be enforced. The differences are that the
substantive are the rights of the people and the procedural law
are how laws are enforced. As a member of society, I am more
aware of the substantive law because I am more aware of what I
can and cannot do. This keeps me as a member of society from
going to jail. If I break any of these laws, then I will then focus
on the procedural laws because I want to make sure my attorney
is going to be able to keep me from going to jail.
