"Computer Related Crime", 1-55950-027-1, U$10.00

This purports to be Field Circular 19-146 of the US Army Military Policy
School.  Supposedly intended for US Army Criminal Investigation (Defence?)
Command Special Agents only, it appears to be an unauthorized photocopy of a
typed government document.  No date is included in any of the supposed
government material:  the Loompanics copyright date is 1990.

It doesn't really matter if this is an official government document or not. 
The material is fairly pedestrian:  after a reasonably detailed set of
instructions on how to exercise a search warrant for computer equipment
(although not how to analyze the equipment, once you have it), the bulk of the
book defines various types of computer crimes.  Much of this would have serious
data security types going, "Well, maybe ...," but, at the same time, it isn't
bad enough as to indicate that American military policy are being misinformed
in what is, after all, a specialized topic.

A possibly interesting bit of arcana for the well-stocked data security
library.
