Abstract
Early computers and crime In regulating the conduct related to the use of computers, the United States government currently defines a computer as "an electronic, optical, electrochemical, or other high-speed data processing device performing logical, arithmetic, or storage functions, and includes any data storage facility or communications facility directly related to or operating in conjunction with such a device" (United States Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (e)(1), 1984). Computer crime and the wide-spread adoption of the PC The development of the personal computer, graphical user interface, and high-level programming languages1 gave consumers a low-cost, easy-to-use solution to information processing and communication (Flamm, 1988; Campbell-Kelly and Aspray, 1996).
