...True, no one could cite any hard-and-fast figures on Internet crime, but that didn't keep another expert from using apocalyptic terms, predicting a continued rash of crime from an "electronic bestiary" of "locusts" (what the rest of us call criminals). So we're looking at a future of electronic fire and brimstone? Not likely, says TIME technology writer Joshua Quittner.

Attorney General Janet Reno is applauding the Clinton administration for putting more cops on the street and stepping up antigun campaigns. It's probably more complicated than either of these explanations would suggest, and there will be a rash of analyses; some will point to the rising rates of incarcerations, some may even promote a causal link between the numbers (less drug use means less crime). At this point, of course, everyone will claim as much credit as possible, pat themselves on the back and whisper prayers...
