The enforcer

Article Abstract:

Michael T. Geraghty, a New Jersey State Police detective, heads the force's High Technology Crime and Investigations Support Unit. He is tasked with policing the Internet, not only for its role in crimes but also for new techniques for investigating cases. Geraghty says that while his unit handles every type of high-tech crime, the Internet now figures in about 80% to 90% of the total. Pornography bulletin boards are now on the Internet, he says, and criminals now use the Internet to trespass computer systems. Geraghty and his staff face new challenges in investigations, including the anonymity of Internet use. Internet investigations also span many jurisdictions.
