Budget 2024: Addressing Online Scams and Internet Crime in Society
Understanding Online Scams in the Context of Budget 2024
Online scams represent the most common type of crime, yet they receive scant attention from authorities. With Budget 2024 on the horizon, it is crucial to assess how government initiatives could better address internet crime. This issue affects thousands of victims every year, undermining trust in digital transactions and society at large.
Why Online Scams Are Thriving
- The growing sophistication of scammers
- Inadequate responses from NZ Police
- The role of politics in crime prevention efforts
As traditional funding focuses elsewhere, the fight against online scams is left lagging. It’s essential for political leaders to prioritize these attacks on citizens.
Political Responsibility and Public Safety
Addressing internet crime in Budget 2024 will require a shift in priorities. Political willpower must be harnessed to facilitate effective measures. Without initiatives focused on prevention and education, online scams will continue to proliferate.
