Abstract
Technology presents special circumstances for criminologist researchers. To date, much of the crime research has been in areas where the technical aspects of the crime do not interfere with the research. For example, it is not necessary to understand how an automobile is powered to research auto theft. However, new technology has presented new challenges. For example, the researcher must understand how to identify a virus before he or she can count it.
