Incidents
of white collar crime have become a topic of daily news.
If it bleeds, it still may lead- but the victim may be the
pocketbook. Credit card scams, money laundering, terrorist
financing- like a complex web, financial and electronic
crimes capture media headlines. Stories of stolen laptops,
corporate data breaches, identity theft, disaster fraud
and mortgage fraud have taken their place alongside traditional
reports of violent and property crime.
The
result has been a rise in both public awareness and concern.
For example, a 2005 FBI survey found:
-
26%
of the respondents felt they were more likely to be a
victim of virtual rather than physical crime.
-
43%
of the respondents were concerned about identity theft,
23% were concerned about loss of money and 13% were concerned
about harm to their credit rating.
Compared
with recent statistics on actual victimization, the awareness
and concern is legitimate. A study estimated that:
-
Between
7 and 10 million Americans had actually been victims of
identity theft, with losses at approximately $48 billion.
-
More
than 50 million Americans have had their personal and
credit information put at risk because of data breaches.
-
Between
$300 and $600 billion is lost annually to white collar
crime.
In
the world of financial and electronic crimes, the criminals
who commit them are the ultimate entrepreneurs. Inventive
in approach, relentless and rapid-fire in execution, they
exploit the nature of the digital age for illegal profit
and gain. An often low risk crime with high potential reward
helps explain their significant growth in recent years.
To combat them, law enforcement and the intelligence community
require a full arsenal of analytic tactics and techniques,
and a method to facilitate working together across federal,
state and local jurisdictions. These tactics and techniques
must address and illustrate all of the essential questions-
the what, how, why, who and, perhaps most important for
response- the where.
Where
are the crimes happening, and where can the derived analysis
support decisions of the broad law enforcement and intelligence
community?
Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) answers the where- integrating
and translating the complex pieces of the financial and
electronic crimes web into a coherent picture. At the GIS
in Financial and Electronic Crimes breakfast , you will
learn how GIS is uniquely positioned to model the patterns
and trends in white collar crime. You will also learn how
financial and electronic crimes data must be captured, stored
and exploited to provide utility to the law enforcement
and intelligence communities.
