Cybercrime and Society, the fourth edition, is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the evolving landscape of online crime. It delves into the nature of cybercrimes and the individuals behind them, exploring how the internet and communication technologies present new challenges to individual and collective safety, social order, stability, economic prosperity, and political liberty.
The book covers a wide range of topics, including hacktivism, digital disobedience, online harassment, and sexual exploitation. It serves as a definitive resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying modules in cybercrime and cybersecurity.
In this extensively updated and expanded edition, the authors address new and contemporary issues such as artificial intelligence (AI) and preventative approaches to counter cybercrimes. Two new chapters have been added: "Online Falsehoods" explores the prevalence of fake news, disinformation, and conspiracies, which have become major online problems with significant consequences. "Illegal Goods and Illicit Markets" combines discussions of the trade in prohibited goods online and via crypto-markets with discussions of piracy and copyright crime.
In addition to the thorough updating and expansion of the topics covered in the 2019 edition, the book introduces numerous new developments and assesses them. Case studies and examples are provided to illustrate the practical applications of the concepts discussed. The international scope and coverage of the book have been further expanded, with greater consideration given to the Canadian and Australian contexts.
Majid Yar, Professor Emeritus of Criminology at Lancaster University, and Kevin F. Steinmetz, Professor of Criminology at Kansas State University, are the authors of Cybercrime and Society. Their expertise in the field makes this book an invaluable resource for students, scholars, and professionals interested in understanding and addressing the challenges posed by cybercrime in today's digital world.
