White collar crime involving the use of computers is becoming a serious problem in today's business world, with losses estimated in the billions of dollars. In an attempt to combat computerized crime, a company must take into consideration a large number of potential risk areas and combat them with well designed security procedures and control systems. These areas include the computer software systems, the hardware, the physical environment in which the computer resides, the communication systems used by the computer, administrative procedures, and personnel policies. Most of these topics have been discussed in a number of recent journal articles and in computer security texts. One area which has not received the attention which it deserves is the relationship between computer crime and employee management.
