"Give Soca clout to tackle e-crimeTuesday 18 April 2006Unveiling the Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) on 1 April may not have given the latest addition to the UK's army of crimebusters the most auspicious of starts. It has certainly left the agency open to obvious quips about the timing of its launch. Such apparent thoughtlessness on the part of government may also point to a lack of attention to the role and responsibilities of Soca. And this may have deleterious consequences for the businesses that are at risk from computer-related crimes. The agency is, in essence, the UK's answer to the FBI."
