G'Day All

Stumbled across this web site at the criminology faculty of Florida 
State Uni

http://www.criminology.fsu.edu/book/chapter1.html

containg an online version of the text for a course on Computer 
Technology and Criminal Justice.


Chapter 1. A Brief History of Computers, Personal Computers, Networked 
Computing, the Internet, and New Media
Chapter 2. Computer Hardware and Operating Systems
Chapter 3. Word Processing and Desktop Publishing
Chapter 4. Databases and Spreadsheets
Chapter 5. Graphics and Multimedia Software
Chapter 6. Email
Chapter 7. Discussion Forums and Chat
Chapter 8. Searching the Web
Chapter 9. Web Site Design
Chapter 10. Distance Learning
Chapter 11. Computer Crime and Computer Forensics
Chapter 12. The Future
Links to related news articles

Each chapter contains case studies / news excerpts to illustrate the 
topic and many links to related sites.

Ethical and legal issues all relate to US law but it might be an 
interesting exercise to compare with Aussie law
