Answer to Question 1

Answer: Answers will vary. The purpose is show students the difficulties in defining computer crime. According to the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), state and federal criminal codes contain more than 50 different definitions of computer crime, each somewhat different from the other. Each definition contains different elements, but are not all inclusive.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The CTR is a report that U.S. financial institutions are required to file with FinCEN for each deposit, withdrawal, or exchange of currency that is more than 10,000. This is a means to check for money laundering. Illegal drug transactions are usually cash transactions, commonly using large amounts of currency to pay off the various actors in each drug deal and to purchase sophisticated equipment. Obviously, the trafficker could choose to store the cash in a strongbox or wall safe, but such methods would not be plausible for the trafficker who generates hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in illegal cash each year. To combat this technique, the Treasury Department implemented the CTR, requiring banks to report cash transactions of 10,000 or more. In 1989, the U.S. government processed an estimated 7,000,000 CTRs compared with an estimated 100,000 ten years earlier. Traffickers quickly circumvented this requirement by developing such activities as corrupting bank employees.
