eCrime or Security

I use eCrime because it is a conversation starter. It leads to more questions, more dialog. When the term security is used people often rely on their image of ex-cops, fences, dogs, kiosks, etc. It stops conversation and questioning. eCrime is a conversation starter. It invites such questions as: How is electronic crime different than physical crime; Why is electronic crime on the rise and physical crime at a plateau; How physical crime (security) people interact with electronic crime people? These questions are addressed throughout this blog and in Tatum's eCrime practice.
