With the advancement of technology and globalization, the natures of crime and criminals have also evolved. The recent surge in Internet-based crimes such as identity theft, financial fraud, money laundering, and piracy is the work of a different kind of criminal—more intelligent, less belligerent—than those studied up till now. This global criminality almost always exists in the virtual world and can cause huge losses to organizations as well as individuals. Even as we struggle to catch up with their modus operandi, the crimes and criminals continue to change and evolve. This chapter highlights the internet-based criminal profile and socio-psychological factors contributing to it. Furthermore, it has been noticed that technology laws struggle to meet the needs of the advancing digital world. The chapter observes that there is a significant need to introduce awareness programmes and policies that serve as a deterrent against such criminal tendencies. While there is undeniably more research to be done before we are able to consolidate a criminological profile for these crimes, this chapter will summarize the foundational indicators of this new criminal.
