A View of Computer Crime in Colombia

Carlos Pablo Marquez, Pontifical University Javeriana Inicio & University of Oxford, has published Information, Economics and Crime: Computer Crimes in Colombian Criminal Code (Editorial Leyer, 2008). Here is the abstract.

The author studies, from the legal and economic perspective the Colombian Criminal Code on those felonies regarded as information related. The author advances in the notion of information crimes, a notion not addressed before in the literature and using dogmatic crime structures studies a set of felonies where information is the crime's object. The author also develops a theory of information and communication to deduct his reasoning regarding information crimes, and distinguish them from computer crimes or informatic crimes.
