Abstract
Telecommunications technologies have changed not only the ways in which crimes are committed but also the ways in which offenders interact in committing them. The truism of “action at a distance” exemplified by online crime, whereby offenders and victims need not be located in the same place or even the same country, also holds for relationships between co-offenders. Online criminal groups can operate effectively without their members ever meeting in person, being able to recognize each other by sight, or knowing each other’s real names.
