How has the digital revolution transformed criminal opportunities and
behaviour? What is different about cybercrime compared with
traditional criminal activity? What impact might cybercrime have on
public security?
In this updated edition of his authoritative and field-defining text,
cybercrime expert David Wall carefully examines these and other
important issues. Incorporating analysis of the latest technological
advances and their criminological implications, he disentangles what
is really known about cybercrime today. An ecosystem of specialists
has emerged to facilitate cybercrime, reducing individual offenders’
level of risk and increasing the scale of crimes involved. This is a
world where digital and networked technologies have effectively
democratized crime by enabling almost anybody to carry out crimes that
were previously the preserve of either traditional organized crime
groups or a privileged coterie of powerful people. Against this
background, the author scrutinizes the regulatory challenges that
cybercrime poses for the criminal (and civil) justice processes, at
both the national and the international levels.
This book offers the most intellectually robust account of cybercrime
currently available. It is suitable for use on courses across the
social sciences, and in computer science, and will appeal to advanced
undergraduate and graduate students.
