Necessary evils

John C Foster at CSC Computer Sciences refers to last week’s item on eCrime – as he says, please excuse the use of CamelCase. ‘I was interested to read Michael Barrett’s suggestion that the police practice of not investigating crimes below a certain threshold resulted in unnecessary crimes being committed.’
This, he points out, begs the question of which eCrimes are necessary? We are sure that you could supply an appropriate answer to that. He also asks: ‘If someone is arrested, but it turns out their crime was necessary, are they let off?’
