Victimization

Cyber crimes are unique and certainly not victimless. There are many illegal activities occurring on the Internet, and many people do not know that they are the victim. Software today can digitally transform innocent pictures or images of children into pornographic material and then distributed without one knowing. This victimization can last many years without someone realizing that they are the victim. Unfortunately, if people do eventually realize that they are victims of Internet crimes, many do not disclose their victimization to the proper authorities. It is of the utmost importance to notify law enforcement immediately to stop the crime from progressing.
