Valuables

Valuables

Valuables are assets (goods, information or people) that can represent a (high) value to criminals and can therefore attract crime.

Valuable goods

Valuable goods are personal properties that represent a value to criminals. There are several types of personal property that are particularly relevant to consider as valuable goods:

• Money or any other right on capital, including securities like bonds, stocks, investment funds, etc.
• Objects that can 'easily' (relative to the profit gained) be sold like cars, bicycles or mobiles
• Objects that are particulaly in demand (particularly rare objects, such as art, specialized machinery or objects with excude a high status)
• Objects wich contain valuable materials that can be recycled (such as copper in wires or bronze in statues)

Valuable information

Valuable information is information that, if information security is breached, can be abused by criminals to gain wealth. This can be achieved by the following mechanisms:

• Extortion
• Sale of the information
• Theft of financial resources by identity fraud

Valuable persons

Valuable persons are people that, when security is breached, can be abused by criminals to gain wealth. This can be achieved by extortion by either abduction or hostage taking (for example of an organisation with an employee, or a family with a family member).
