I've spoken with a number of police officers involved in tackling e-crime
issues and on the whole it seems to be a resource issue rather than a
willingness issue. Training a police officer how to handle an investigation
into something quite 'virtual' is not an easy or cheap task. This means
there aren't very many trained officers and so they tend to be assigned to
investigating the most serious offences.
