Past history is no guarantee of future performance. A pattern we see repeated over and over again is that a new control on some form of Internet crime leads to a dramatic short term reduction even though the control merely increases the cost of crime, not eliminates the capability. This is the displacement effect. The criminals attack weaker targets instead. Once the criminals have exhausted the supply of easy targets the original targets see a sudden increase in the crime rate, often orders of magnitude in a few days.
