The US Department of Justice is honoring June’s Internet Safety month. The National Criminal Justice Reference Service Website is dedicating web space to educating individuals in Internet safety. The NCJRS Internet Safety page provides a brief overview addressing some of the issues with the Internet and potential problems. The web page also provides links to additional information regarding specific Internet safety issues. These links include information and additional links to General Internet Safety, Internet Safety for Children, Internet Privacy, Cyberbullying and Cyberstalking, and Identity Theft.

Many feel that adolescents are the only ones at risk on the Internet. Having spent years cleaning viruses off of business, family and adult computers, I know this is not the case. Everyone is at risk. The decline in economy has thrown the door wide open for Internet crimes. Be proactive with the Internet safety involving yourself, family and business and read through some of the web pages suggested by the NCJRS. You may learn something new and will definitely reinforce the information you already know.
