Cyber victimology is a comprehensive socio-legal-victimological approach to understanding victimization in the digital realm, written in clear and accessible language, and offering practical solutions to the problem. The author, Halder, conducts a qualitative analysis of the contemporary dimensions of cybercrime victimization, aiming to bridge the gap in existing literature on this topic. The book includes a literature review and case studies to examine the current situation concerning cybercrime victimization. A profile of victims of cybercrime is developed based on the characteristics of different groups of victims. Additionally, new policy guidelines are proposed based on United Nations documents on cybercrimes and victim justice to prevent such victimization and explore avenues for restitution of justice in cases of cybercrime victimization.

This book explores the interconnectedness of cyber victimization across sectors and examines why perpetrators choose to attack their victims in specific ways, resulting in unintended harm to other members of society. It serves as a valuable textbook in cyber victimology courses and is also of interest to policy makers and activists working in this field. By providing a global socio-legal-victimological perspective on cyber victimization, this book contributes to our understanding of the challenges and opportunities associated with this rapidly evolving area of study.
