Furthermore, on the February 14, 2011, Uganda enacted its first cybercrime legislation- the Computer Misuse Act 2011. The paper aims to stimulate debate on the effectiveness of the Act in dealing with terrorist acts that are perpetuated by use of computers. An e-mail allegedly linked to the July 11 2010 deadly bombings in Kampala, provides a lens through which two aspects of the Computer Misuse Act are examined namely: the narrow definition of computer misuse; and the inadequate provisions on proportionality and human rights, and judicial oversight in the procedural framework. Such an e-mail is a learning material well suited for the problem-based learning methods applied during the Bar Course. By way of concluding reflection, the author highlights research and training, as a means by which legal solutions to the lacunae in the legislation may be found.

for triage and field forensics. As these were rapidly embraced, it was still unclear what professionals could look for, how to look for it, and how to interpret what they found. This unique book resolves those issues. The book provides a clear outline of what can and should be done regarding the management of offender computer use. Not only does the text help community
corrections professionals understand how to monitor computer use, but it helps realize how information gained during monitoring can assist in overall case management. The book takes the reader through all the paces of managing offender cyber-risk
and is meant specifically for pretrial, probation, parole, and community sanction officers. The chapters are organized by major areas, such as community corrections and cyberspace, understanding the options, condition legality, operational legality,
accessing cyber-risk, computer education, principles of effective computer monitoring, search and seizure, deploying monitoring software, and online investigations. Additionally, numerous appendices provide a wealth of information regarding model forms, questionnaires, and worksheets. This book moves the reader toward a more informed use of the technology that is now readily available to effectively manage offenders' digital behavior.

Initially such acts were committed by those with specific skills or knowledge to break or hack into computer1 systems and/or manipulate them to steal services, data and/or funds. Some also used their skills to simply destroy systems and/or data. Increased computer availability, use and connectivity particularly with the advent of the Internet, has made the general population, including criminals, accustomed to computers and their uses. This issue paper discusses options for community corrections in managing the risk posed by offenders using computers and the Internet.
