Computer crime can be broadly defined as any criminal activity involving computers. This would include the simple theft of a computer. Since such activities raise few, if any, unique legal issues, for purposes of this course the term "computer crime" will focus on criminal activity involving the computer data--particularly its manipulation, modification, destruction, and so forth. Computer crimes can be analyzed under three main headings: computer systems as the object, as an instrumentality, or as incidental to the crime.
