Description & Coverage
Description:

As more individuals own and operate Internet-enabled devices and more critical government and industrial systems rely on advanced technologies, the issue of cybercrime has become a crucial concern for both the general public and professionals alike.

The Psychology of Cyber Crime: Concepts and Principles aims to be the leading reference examining the psychology of cybercrime. This book considers many aspects of cybercrime, including research on offenders, legal issues, the impact of cybercrime on victims, punishment, and preventative measures. It is designed as a source for researchers and practitioners in the disciplines of criminology, cyberpsychology, and forensic psychology, though it is also likely to be of significant interest to many students of information technology and other related disciplines.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Copyright Infringement
  • Crime in Virtual Worlds
  • Cyberbullying, Cyberharassment, and Cyberstalking

  • Identity Theft and Fraud
  • Internet Child Pornography

Reviews & Statements

This book seeks to take the knowledge established in an offline world and measure it for fit against the needs of the online world and offer suggestions where the fit is not exact.
