During the last decade, the issue of cyber crime or computer-related crime has slowly evolved. This evolution has fueled a perceived increase in the number of these types of crime, through venues such as high profile cases and Internet scams, thereby, providing cyber crime or computer-related crime with considerably more attention. In examining computer crime in North Carolina from a judicial perspective, this exploratory study attempted to ascertain the specific needs of the district attorneys relative to computer-related crimes. It attempts to answer program and policy relevant questions which include: (1) how prepared are the State’s prosecutors for handling these cases; (2) what types of equipment, training, and personnel needs do these offices have; and (3) what do the district attorneys see in the future for these crimes? The study attempted to find a better indication of the nature and extent of cyber crime in North Carolina. A 4-part, 26-item questionnaire was designed and completed by 20, out of 39, prosecuting attorneys’ offices. Highlighted results include: (1) eight district attorneys noted that their offices did have individuals who possessed knowledge of computer crimes; (2) the majority of the computer crime cases were locally occurring events; (3) the most frequently reported type of computer crime was fraud, followed by the use of a computer to lure children and identity theft; (4) the majority of prosecutors reported a lack of adequate computer equipment and lagging technological capabilities; (5) over half the offices described their greatest personnel need as more staff training; and (6) 75 percent thought the current general statutes clearly delineated jurisdictional boundaries. In an attempt to alleviate the identified barriers to prosecution computer-related crimes, four recommendations are presented and included: (1) basic to advanced levels of in-State computer crime training should become available; (2) efforts should be directed at equipment procurement and computer upgrades; (3) a legislative study commission should be empaneled to investigate the issue of computer crime as it intersects e-commerce and e-government operations; and (4) the existing case management information system should be improved and expanded for the extraction of relevant computer crime data.
