Crime online

BBC World Service - Business Daily, Crime online

How do you fight crimes which you often don't even know have been committed?

With drugs they call it the escalation effect - you start off with a puff of cannabis and end up a heroin addict.  So is the same true of cosmetics for men?  When a man takes a dab of moisturiser does it lead inexorably to fake eyelashes and livid lipstick?  Business Daily travels to South Korea to find out.

But the programme's main story is online crime.  As Europe launches a cyber crime unit Justin Rowlatt explores the challenge of fighting crimes you often don't even know have been committed.
