Duke Law & Technology Review

To protect against "cyberterror," the House version of the Homeland Security Act exempts information related to the nation's critical infrastructure from the Freedom of Information Act disclosure requirements.

Liberty For Security, Morgan Streetman Oct 2001

Liberty For Security, Morgan Streetman

Duke Law & Technology Review

On 11 September 2001, we collectively endured the worst tragedy to touch American soil since the Civil War. In the wake of this horrible event, a national hysteria erupted. People are anxious to restore the lost security; but at what cost? Many Americans seem not to care about the costs, and national polls show that now, more than ever, Americans are willing to trade their precious civil liberties in an attempt to restore security. As the ACLU has stated these are difficult days. Not only are they difficult, they will define the future of America. This iBrief explores the reactions …

State Cybercrime Legislation In The United States Of America: A Survey, Susan W. Brenner Jan 2001

State Cybercrime Legislation In The United States Of America: A Survey, Susan W. Brenner

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

In the United States, cybercrimes are the focus of legislation adopted at both the state and federal levels. The U.S. Constitution allocates lawmaking authority between the two levels according to certain principles, one of which is that even when federal jurisdiction to legislate exists, federal legislation is appropriate only when federal intervention is required. And while federal legislative authority can pre-empt the states' ability to legislate in a given area, it rarely does, so it is not unusual for federal criminal laws to overlap with state prohibitions that address essentially the same issues.

Megan's Law: Analysis On Whether It Is Constitutional To Notify The Public Of Sex Offenders Via The Internet, 17 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 1133 (1999), Susan Oakes Jan 1999

Megan's Law: Analysis On Whether It Is Constitutional To Notify The Public Of Sex Offenders Via The Internet, 17 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 1133 (1999), Susan Oakes

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

Because of the public demand for stronger governmental action against those who commit violent and sexual offenses against children, Congress implemented "Megan's Law" which mandated that the registered information of criminal child sex offenders be unlimited in disclosure so long as the information released is necessary to protect the public. Megan's Law and the Internet (as useful medium for communicating information on sex offenders), fulfill a similar goal as criminal cases receiving media attention because both aid in protecting the public from potential crimes committed by dangerous sex offenders. Megan's Law is constitutional because it is not punitive and because …

Virginia's Response To Computer Abuses: An Act In Five Crimes, Daniel R. Burk Jan 1984

Virginia's Response To Computer Abuses: An Act In Five Crimes, Daniel R. Burk

University of Richmond Law Review

The threat depicted in War Games has been both rebuked as impossible and highlighted as much closer to the realm of possibility than even the creators of the movie may have surmised. Regardless of the actual possibility of a creative mind breaking through the security of the North America Air Defense Command computer with an auto-dialing modem and the simple password "JOSHUA" the adventures of the curious "hackers" and the singularly-directed criminal have been widely publicized and have captured both the fear and respect of computer owners throughout the country.

Due Process Versus Data Processing: An Analysis Of Computerized Criminal History Information Systems, Donald Doernberg, Donald H. Zeigler Jan 1980

Due Process Versus Data Processing: An Analysis Of Computerized Criminal History Information Systems, Donald Doernberg, Donald H. Zeigler

Articles & Chapters

This article, based on a comprehensive empirical study of New York's computerized criminal history information system and on national surveys of similar systems, concludes that current regulations governing the dispersion of criminal history information are grossly inadequate. Although information drawn from computerized criminal history files is often inaccurate, incomplete, ambiguous or inappropriate, criminal justice officials and judges routinely use such information in making decisions affecting defendants' liberty. This practice is unconstitutional, and the article suggests ways to regulate criminal history information systems that would protect a defendant's right not to be deprived of liberty without due process of law.
