摘要:The purpose of this study was to collect and analyze computer crime cases in Singapore over a 6-year period from 2003 to 2008, and to understand the trend in computer crimes. For data collection, we constructed comprehensive query terms for searching all the computer crime cases in Singapore. All the related terms for “computer crime” were collected using two thesauri engines which were namely Inspect and Compendex. In the search phase, the two search engines, LexisNexis Academic and Factiva, were employed. The source of the articles was all English newspapers published in Singapore, such as The Straits Times, The Business Times, and Today. Based on the collected computer crime cases in Singapore, the top three computer crimes categories were hacking (32.4%), fraud (29.5%), and intellectual property theft (17.1%).
