Conclusion
Act as Global police rather than Regional or
national police to fight against cyber crime
Rise of cyber crime insists the law
enforcers to work as global police
rather than regional or national
police only. Citizens of 21st
centuries need to fight together
against their common enemies. The
Police Force through global
partnership need be able to meet the
challenges of the technology to curb
all crimes including Cyber Crime.
