 Dear students, in this module, we are going to talk about the crimes against the property, particularly two crimes, the computer crime and organized crime. Crimes against property involves theft or damage to someone else's property. It is not necessary that the property is a material or physical object. They can also be virtual, which we call computer crime such as hacking and identity theft. It is the common form of property crime in the digital age. Your digital identity is also your property. Similarly, your email, your other resources, other resources are your bank accounts, your other important confidential connections with your work related activities. All these are part of your digital property. To theft this digital property through using different mechanisms of hacking, such as phishing is a process through which a fake email is generated. Through that fake email, you get this power. Maybe this email is from your bank, from your own organization, or from your own organization in which you are a member. When you click on it, you realize that your password is hacked. As a result of this process, many people have their financial resources and even their honor and respect. In today's digital age, these crimes are also used by the criminal justice system through its mechanism of social control. The laws are passed on to those laws and people are given awareness. In the case of cyber crimes in Pakistan, investigative agencies can contact them and they can lodge FIRs on this matter. These types of thefts or identity thefts or such hacking have laws. Organized crime refers to the criminal activities that are planned and carried out by the groups of individuals. In Pakistan, organized crime is often associated with drug trafficking, human trafficking, and smuggling of goods across borders. There are many organized crimes like this. First of all, drug trafficking involves people. Second, human smuggling, in which people are treated illegally for migration or immigration. Sometimes, many of them sit hand in hand with each other. In these kinds of crimes, people are involved in the form of organized groups. Along with this, the smuggling, the cross-border smuggling, especially in Asia where a country is considered banned, these organized groups are involved in their smuggling. So, overall, whether it is in digital form or in your real world, these organized crimes refer to law enforcement agencies, different mechanisms of social control are adopted. And the interest of sociologists is that they see how these organized crimes are committed, what their source of motivation is, and what their patterns are. So, these are also important patterns of behavior. For example, why do people go towards hacking? And sometimes, it happens that just for the sake of fun, people hack other people's accounts. So, for sociologists, this kind of behavior, knowing and understanding them is very important for the sake of social intervention and policy reformation.
