Abstract
As cyber crime has proliferated exponentially across the globe, those in the criminal justice field have lacked suitable and updated knowledge concerning the pedestrian reality of modern cyber crime. Popular media has created an image of cyber crime that suggests a lone hacker breaking through seemingly impossible security measures to access lucrative secret data. Crimes like these are very rare, but cyber crime is all too common. Criminals use the Internet to commit fraud, harass or bully people, download illegal pornography, or download stolen music far more than they use the Internet to violate national security. Edited by K. Jaishankar, Cyber Criminology: Exploring Internet Crimes and Criminal Behavior is a collection of chapters on cyber crime which focuses on common instances of internet crime that law enforcement officials are likely to deal with on a daily basis. The chapters within this edited collection are written by international scholars and provide the reader with provocative and thoughtful viewpoints upon which to develop one’s own thoughts. Moreover, the book strengthens a timely and necessary debate among academics and practitioners, and beyond.
