Internet is a shortened version of the term internetwork which literally means ‘through-net’ or ‘net in net’. Cybercrimes are committed in a ‘virtual’ place called ‘cyberspace’. Among many types of internet crime one can distinguish dissemination and popularization of prohibited content (i.e. pornography, prostitution, public defamation, cyberterrorism) as well as fraud and other financial crimes (i.e. phishing, extortion, identity theft, money laundering). A new kind of psychological disorder is the Internet addiction. It is characterized by feeling an internal urge to constantly being connected by the affected person.
