Computer Criminal Taxonomy: A Critical Analysis
Kathryn Seigfried · 2004
Despite the rise in computer related crimes throughout the last decade, there have been only limited empirical attempts to profile computer criminals. In 1995, the FBI developed the Computer Crime Adversarial Matrix (CCAM). Unfortunately, the CCAM is now out of date and full of statistical and methodological problems. This study is a critical analysis of the CCAM model. The findings will be combined with other classification models (Rogers, 2000 & Taylor, 1990) and the results used to develop the foundation for a new computer criminal taxonomy based on better empirical/statistical support.
