What does high IQ crime mean?

With the rapid development of information technology, some criminal acts are becoming more and more intelligent. The survey shows that the high-tech crimes exposed in China are increasing at a rate of 40% every year. The rapid development of network technology in China has also made the targets of fraud and theft criminals move from enterprises and government agencies to ordinary people, thus attracting the attention and vigilance of all walks of life. In addition to the increasing number of online fraud cases, there are many websites selling illegal goods online, the most representative of which is selling drugs, anesthetics and various pornographic audio-visual products. The information revolution has not only brought benefits to mankind, but also created a group of brand-new criminals with high IQ.

Intelligent crime has aroused great concern in the fields of law, criminology, finance and computer. From the perspective of criminology, intelligent crime refers to crimes committed by criminals using wisdom, intellectual achievements and advanced scientific and technological means. In recent years, the means of using high-tech intelligent crimes have been continuously developed and renovated, which has caused great losses to the financial industry. Among them, information theft, embezzlement and fraud are the most common types of crimes. Such as using forged credit cards, making fake bills, tampering with computer programs and other means to defraud money, are the common characteristics of intelligent crimes. According to foreign media reports, during the period of 654.38+099 1 year, the illegal income of using fake credit cards worldwide has exceeded 654.38 billion US dollars. By 2004, the loss caused by credit card fraud alone was as high as more than 3 billion dollars, that is to say, compared with 15 years ago, it increased by 30 times! In China, according to relevant statistics, from the representative computer crime cases publicly reported since the implementation of the new criminal law in China, the economic losses caused are more than 10,000 yuan. The economic losses caused by most computer crimes are more than 654.38+10,000 yuan, and some reach 1 10,000 yuan or even tens of millions of yuan.

According to the investigation of 26 cases of 29 intelligent crimes handled by Beijing procuratorate since the beginning of 2004, compared with traditional crimes, intelligent crimes have the following obvious characteristics:

1. Intelligence of the criminal subject. Criminals are generally highly educated, have received some professional skills training, and have sufficient professional knowledge and intelligence. Judging from the 29 criminals arrested, 2 1 has a college degree or above, accounting for 72%. Some are doctoral students. And because most of the high-tech knowledge is mastered by teenagers, nearly 80% of the criminals are under the age of 35. Before committing a crime, they usually choose the right crime opportunity through careful planning and preparation, so the success rate of the crime is relatively high.

2. Concealing criminal acts. Intelligent crime is more concealed because of the extensive use of high-tech modern means such as computer technology, and it is not easy to be detected without leaving a trace after committing the crime. Some crimes are hard to find even for a long time. Even if it is found, it is extremely difficult to investigate and collect evidence.

3. The seriousness of the consequences of crime. Science and technology can promote the development of productive forces and benefit mankind, but if it is mastered and used by criminals, the consequences of crime will be very serious. The use of intelligent means to commit crimes such as corruption, theft, forgery and fraud involves a huge amount of money. Often a crime will cause hundreds of thousands, millions or even tens of millions of losses to the country, the collective or the individual. The amount is so large that it can't be compared with ordinary corruption and theft.
