INTERNET CRIME. REAL WORLD CRIME.
THE DIFFERENCE?

Home Computer Users Now Have A Reference for
Internet Safety and Cybercrime Prevention

La Belle, FL — April 2, 2008. The Ultimate Guide to Internet Safety by Victoria Roddel, owner and operator of the Cyber Criminals Most Wanted website at www.ccmostwanted.com since 1999, highlights the parallels and overlaps between real world crime and internet crime. Cybercrime prevention should be as natural to every internet user as crossing a street safely.

Each internet user is responsible for personal safety as they are in the real world. To maintain safety, each internet user, lawmaker and law enforcer should have a basic understanding of how safety can be compromised in regards to family, money, identity and electronic possessions. This book explains how national policies and laws should not only be blind to the tool used to plan and commit the crime but should be formulated to fairly balance the privacy, respect, responsibilities, rights and safety of every internet user.

Can we tell if we are: trusting someone who is not who they say they are? willingly giving personal information to an imposter? compromising privacy? stealing when downloading? unintentionally boasting that our electronic identity and possessions are available for the taking? Besides explaining topics related to internet safety, The Ultimate Guide to Internet Safety presents possible compromising safety situations with suggestions for prevention. The Chapter References provide links to websites of professionals in their field of expertise.

The Ultimate Guide to Internet Safety has more than 800 links. It will be available as a paperback June 1, 2008 (ISBN 9781435711594) at Lulu Press Inc http://stores.lulu.com/InternetSafety, the world’s fastest-growing provider of print-on-demand books.

“The best safety rule,” says Victoria Roddel, “for use of the home computer and any electronic device connected to the internet is to apply your everyday smarts and crime prevention procedures and experience to the safety of your children, money and the people you meet. The internet is a tool we use to do the same things we do everyday. Each person should be mindful of personal safety, aware of immediate surroundings and know the rights and responsibilities that accompany the purchase of a home computer, laptop and any electronic device".
