In 2021, 60.8 per cent of reported cybercrime cases registered were for the motive of fraud. To tackle mounting digital financial fraud complaints, the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal was created by the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre and the Ministry of Home Affairs. The portal is an integrated platform where stakeholders, such as law enforcement agencies, banks, financial intermediaries and others, are connected to prevent the outflow of money from the system, as money once out of the system becomes untraceable and non-retrievable. The portal enables requests to be sent to identified stakeholders by law enforcement authorities to block financial transactions or create a lien on the disputed money while the money is with them. The article has been written against the backdrop of Herbert Packer’s two models of the criminal process, describing two competing goals that underlie criminal legal regimes: the crime-control model and the due process model. As crime is committed in cyberspace and technology is developed to counter it, often the urgency of resolving the crime and the opacity surrounding the technology, blur the lines of permissible and impermissible actions. The article argues that this technical solution created for tackling digital financial frauds is far from perfect, and, at best, a quick fix while larger, looming questions remain unanswered. Through a series of high court cases, the article brings forth how due process requirements are often sidelined in favour of the more immediate goal of crime control in the guise of this PoliceTech, even as questions of the efficiency of the tech remain unaddressed. Nonetheless, the article recommends reforms to ensure the safe deployment of PoliceTech in India, minimize public harm and create accountability for misuse of harms arising from technology.","PeriodicalId":401187,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Victimology and Victim Justice","volume":"8 1","pages":"65-83"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147897363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As one may expect, this brings attention to victims of violent crimes. With such a delicate topic, true crime needs to maintain ethical practices. Many have speculated that victims are disrespected in these retellings, but in pre-existing research, no one has measured the extent of this disrespect. As such, the following question presented itself: What is the extent of murder victim maltreatment by true crime media present on Hulu as of 2022? To answer this question, a quantitative, exploratory media analysis was completed through the use of a codebook, which assigns point values that can be combined into an overall maltreatment score. The main focus of this codebook was the narrative and imagery shown throughout an episode. Starting with all true crime series, the sample size was narrowed down to five series. These five series were coded and received an overall maltreatment score. It was found that on average, these five series displayed a substantial amount of maltreatment towards murder victims. Additionally, further analysis showed that the treatment of victims was somewhat dependent on the killers. Not only does this demonstrate an injustice to the victims themselves, but also to those that knew them.","PeriodicalId":401187,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Victimology and Victim Justice","volume":"17 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141018766","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article identifies three key issues that could compromise the impartiality and presumption of innocence in investigations, namely, improper and inconsistent use of technology, outdated procedural assurances and a lack of reliability testing in practice. The findings highlight the need for legislative intervention, enforcement of standards and implementation of validation procedures for digital evidence to protect innocent individuals and all parties involved in criminal proceedings. The article also examines how digital evidence practices adhere to fair trial standards and how technology-assisted investigations affect criminal procedures. The study draws on data obtained from a project conducted by the Economic and Social Research Council on the application of digital forensics in police forces in England and the United States. The research provides insights into the evolving nature of investigations in connection to the rising demand for digital expertise and the distribution and coordination of related resources in the police forces.","PeriodicalId":401187,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Victimology and Victim Justice","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133529581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scholars have often explained the same through change in material realities in the political economy. This article attempts to answer the same by premising on Pashukanis’ theory of commodity exchange. He claimed that the definition and progression of criminal liability as a social category resulted from how commodity was exchanged in any particular epoch. It was in the bourgeois epoch that this liability was widened, and this could be possible only after the universalization of the rights-based category—the legal subject. Is this theorization visible, in its materiality, in Sutherland’s comprehension of the white-collar criminal? In the twentieth century, Sutherland, in his work titled ‘White-Collar Crimes’, observed that a novel kind of crime was being committed because of the creation of the middle class in the United States of America. Its victims were the consumers. Is a similar phenomenon visible in twenty-first-century India? What does the universal access to data and greater commission of cybercrimes suggest? This article aims to tie a thread between these three scholars by asking a question—does criminal liability, as a social category and the creation of novel victims, get defined by how the commodity is exchanged in a particular epoch? In other words, this article suggests that the rise of cybercrimes in India should be looked at through the lens of Pashukanis’ commodity-exchange theory.","PeriodicalId":401187,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Victimology and Victim Justice","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133695236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, the type of crime(s) emerged from the convenience sample and so happened to be online grooming of young women. Using the case study method, two semi-structured interviews were conducted with young women who were ages 12 and 16 (at the time of the study) with in-depth information provided for each case. The data were then triangulated between the research team and the Victim Service who co-created the study (including materials) and co-produced the manuscript. This method of triangulation also occurred to ensure the similarities and differences identified in the discussion. Similarities included that both young women had a trusted adult to tell and that they were not to blame. Differences occurred with the police involvement as well as contradictions in the advice of ‘just block them’. This study calls for better school-based interventions and police response using actual case studies for training and education. Suggestions for future research are further explored and include more tailored quantitative projects, further case studies and other qualitative methods, and a standardized curriculum for safety that can be devised with the Victim Service. Most importantly, if online grooming occurs, this is not because the individual has done something wrong or deserves it, rather they should tell an adult and seek help to end the behaviour.","PeriodicalId":401187,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Victimology and Victim Justice","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129969787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
