Controlling computer crime in Germany

Abstract The main means employed to fight growing computer misuse in Germany has been to invoke the use of criminal law. This article details the relevant provisions of substantive German criminal law and discusses the emerging problems in criminal procedure and in the practice of prosecuting computer crime. The term ‘computer crime’ and its meaning in criminal law and legal theory are also described in greater detail. The approach adopted by the German legislature to fight computer crime, which is characterized by using very complex and special statutes, enacted parallel to existing and less complex traditional statutes is criticized. This article argues that within the vast field of computer crime, two types of offences should be differentiated. The first group comprises offences which are accidentally committed by using a computer, while the second group consists of crimes that structurally did not exist before. It is argued that in respect of this second category of ‘real computer crime'—and in light of the emerging problems in criminal procedure—a new paradigm of information law is needed.

Computer crime: Why should we still care?

In October 1992, the DTI published a report 1 reviewing the application of the Computer Misuse Act 1990. At international level, the International Association of Penal Law (AIDP) held a sequence of conferences on Computer Crime in Germany. Both events cause concern to those interested in implementing an effective policy to fight computer misuse in Britain and abroad. Part I of this report analyses the findings of the DTI report and Part II analyses the outcome of the AIDP Conference.

Crime, Women, and the Quality of Urban Life

Although crime and the fear of crime affect both the men and women who live in cities, women are especially affected. In numerous studies they express significantly higher levels of fear than men. For example, according to a 1972 national poll,1 over half the women surveyed, compared with 20 percent of the men, said they were afraid to walk in their neighborhoods at night. The proportion of women reporting such feelings has grown in recent years.2 Accompanying this fear may be an increased use of certain safety precautions, such as staying home at night or avoiding certain parts of the city. This results in what Biderman3 has called "foregone opportunities." Beyond serving as means of protection for women, such restrictions may serve as instruments of social control. Feminist analyses of one crime, rape, have made this point eloquently:
