Unknown and therefore unopposed forms of crime developed much more quickly than could be anticipated and combated. The need for an effective system to combat cybercrime quickly became evident.

Jurisdictional issues as well as the problem of accurately identifying the name and location of offenders can hinder such a system (Shinder, 2011). Even as police forces overcome these obstacles, controversies remain due to the unique quality of digital evidence (Shinder, 2011). the relative anonymity that the Internet offers.
