Subject: File 7--Biblio resource: "Computer Crime" Handbook
A panel on computer crime, sponsored by the Chicago Bar Association,
led to an edited collection of documents, including articles and
federal statutes, that provides a helpful resource for those interested
in a basic background on crime and computer technology. The volume,
in spiral/desktop publishing format, includes a set of "hypotheticals"
used for organizing the panel discussion. However, the responses of
the panelists (which included William C. Cook, Sheldon Zenner, Robert
Gustafson and Bernard P. Zajac, Jr.) were not included.
The strength of the work is the appenix, which includes a list of
potential violations (matched to their statutes) that may be
prosecuted under various federal statutes; Copies of most relevant
federal legislation governing recent "hacker" indictments; Comments on
selected federal statutes; and reprints of articles from the National
Institute of Justice and by John Perry Barlow, Buck BloomBecker, and
others. It also includes a David R. Johnson's testimony regarding
Senate Bill 2476, and a basic annotated bibliography of books,
articles, journals, and other resources as pointers to further
information on these issues.
The volume is about 150 pages (unpaginated, unindexed) and is
available at cost (about $20). For further information, contact
