What is the impact of cell phones on crime?"

I say it is the cell phones that are the cause of the crime. Whether it is the reason for the crime taking place or the way in which the crime was connected and performed, I am sure their was a cell phone involved.

Thanks, regards

It should be noted that cell phone communication does not carry the same protections that landline phone protection does, and "wire taps" or intercepts may be performed legally with a warrant (although the prosecuting attorney or issuing agency may deem a warrant to be a valuable safeguard in order to protect their case.

Also, many cellphone cryptographic schemes are either thought to be, or certainly are, insecure. For instance the GSM encryption scheme A5/1 has been demonstrably cracked on numerous occassions, but is still in use.

These among other factors have had an interesting series of effects on crime. First, the unsophisitcated criminal who believes that a cell phone is a secure means of communications, can be more easily apprehended. On the other hand, more sophisitcated criminals who understand cell phone's limitations can enjoy a significant increase in operational flexibility as a result of near-instantanious communications.

All cell phone communications should be assumed to be en claire and position-revealing unless otherwise proven not to be.
