Abstract: |
This book deals with one of the most modern and increasingly relevant form of crime, cybercrime.It is addressed to undergraduates, as well as postgraduates, students of criminology and social sciences in general, especially in relation to sociology, political economy, and the psychology of technology. In this sense it offers a coherent and insightful introduction to cybercrime. It attempts a synthesis of the contradictory approaches in the literature regarding various types of cybercrime. In addition, it focuses on identifying and dealing with cybercrime both at an institutional and informal level. At the same time, it emphasizes the role of digital information, but also information technology in general, in shaping the social relations of cybercriminals. It covers, among other things, the issues concerning the theoretical approach of cybercrime based on criminological theory, hacking and hackers, cyber-piracy and financial cyber-crime, cyberfraud and organized cybercrime, pornography and the abuse of minors, cyberbullying, cybersurveillance and cyberharassment, cyber terrorism, and hacktivism.
Each chapter contains the bibliography used, often with the relevant web address, comprehension questions and internal hyperlinks to facilitate reading.
