Abstract
Description
This paper establishes a link between the hitherto known traditional organized crimes and modern cyber
fraud. The transnational context of fraud in the e-business environment promotes exclusive anonymity,
transactional secrecy and unprecedented vulnerabilities relatively higher in impact and far above any
documented assessment of organized crimes that preceded it. Mostly implicated in this emerging trend
considered in this criminological discourse are the youths, commonly referred to as the Net Generation.
Uniquely, these categories of people are doubly victimized. Just as they suffer acute deprivation socioeconomically,
they are also systemically made representable under the criminal justice arrangement of
most nations due to their incessant involvements in illicit activities. Finally, the paper made an advocacy
for prompt state intervention towards arresting the precarious situations impressing it upon the youths to
adopt unconventional means to attain survival.
