Reportlinker Adds Vehicle Crime in the 21st Century and the Impact of Electronic Theft Methods

NEW YORK, Aug. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

Vehicle Crime in the 21st Century and the Impact of Electronic Theft Methods

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0254149/Vehicle-Crime-in-the-21st-Century-and-the-Impact-of-Electronic-Theft-Methods.html

A special report on the rapid development in theft technology, theft methods, changing legislation and the involvement of organised crime that threaten vehicle security systems worldwide.

The mysticism of modern technology is no longer a stumbling block against car crime and the widespread reach of the internet makes data on security systems and theft methods more freely available. Theft patterns have shifted from small groups operating at a local level to more serious organised crime groups working on a global scale. In addition to this, independent companies are now being granted access to vehicle security system information for the diagnostics and repair market.

SBD looks at these influences in its ground-breaking report; "Vehicle Crime in the 21st Century and the Impact of Electronic Theft Methods" in order to stimulate the automotive and associated industries' awareness of changing trends and the need for new anti-theft strategies for the next-generation vehicles.

This research will help you to:

• Learn how the breakdown of the Soviet Union and the subsequent rise in organised criminal gangs is having a significant impact on car crime
• Understand how the availability of security-related information on the internet and the introduction of new legislation is undermining vehicle manufacturers' security developments
• Gain an insight into the future of car crime and what you need to know to help you get ahead of the thieves

This report provides a global overview of the changing theft patterns since the 1990s. It includes an analysis of the impact of readily-available information on the internet, changes in legislation and the effect of the world recession to provide a comprehensive picture of car crime and what the future holds.
