National Sovereignty

Today we have: •respect for sovereignty, •the associated norm of

non-intervention, and •the formal equality of states.

BUT:

how does status as a failed, quasi-functioning, orfunctioning state affect “respect”

How does Criminology affect this?

The Issue? Our students?

China’s Growing Problems• More than three-quarters of the

surface water flowing through China’s urban areas is considered unsuitable for drinking or fishing. (Source: Turner, Jennifer L., “In Deep Water: Ecological Destruction of China’s Water Resources,” 2007. Original source: Chao Shengyu, “Underground Water in 90% of Chinese Cities Polluted,” Xinhua News, 2005.)

• About 4.05 million hectares, or 7.4% of the nation’s irrigated lands, are irrigated with polluted water; two-thirds of this land is in northern China. (Source: World Bank, “Addressing China’s Water Scarcity: Recommendations for Selected Water Resource Management Issues,” 2009.)

Trends/Emerging Threats• Threats to Key Critical Infrastructure

• SCADA Systems• Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition• A search engine that indexes servers and other internet devices is

helping hackers to find industrial control systems that are vulnerable to tampering

• Greater use of Cyberspace by the bad guys• Compromise of Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) Networks• Use of this bandwidth to facilitate criminal activity• A search engine that indexes servers and other internet

devices is helping hackers to find industrial control systems that are vulnerable to tampering

PCAP, Zamboanga City, 14 DEC 2011

Growing Trends

•Virus/Worm Payloads Used to Facilitate Intrusion/Fraud Schemes

•Mercenary Distributed Denial Of Service Attacks

•Extortion Schemes Fueled by DDOS and Intrusion

•Spamming used to spread malicious payloads, phish, and pay using adware/malware, spyware

•Identity Theft Underpins Most Computer Crime

•Overall increase in sophistication by a geographically diverse criminal element

Hyundai Capital's data leaked through servers in Philippines, Brazil: police

• SEOUL, April 10 (Yonhap) -- Police said Sunday that a hacker likely used servers in the Philippines and Brazil to steal private customer data from Hyundai Capital, an affiliate of South Korea's top automaker, in a case that leaked personal information of as many as 420,000 customers.

• Hyundai Capital, a financial unit of Hyundai Motor Group, was blackmailed last week by an unknown hacker demanding money in return for not releasing private data of its customers, including confidential financial information of some individuals. Police authorities at the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency said the hacker gained access to Hyundai Capital's data from servers located in the Philippines and Brazil.

"The results show clear correlations between insurgency and illicit drug-

related activities. While this is not new, Afghanistan seems to be the most

obvious case in the world of how drug cultivation, refining and trafficking fund

political violence, and vice versa."

, United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), 5 March 2007

The life of a terrorist was not ruled by politics or ideology,

What do we do?“You have to show them,

in both counterinsurgency and counternarcotics, that you are the ones running the show.”

(Sergio Jaramillo Caro)PCAP, Zamboanga City, 14 DEC 2011

“As citizens begin to feel secure and have trust in the government, they turn away

from the insurgents and cartels and begin to assist the

government.”
