Examining the consequences of technology-driven lifestyles for both
crime commission and victimization, this comprehensive Handbook
provides an overview of a broad array of techno-crimes as well as
exploring critical issues concerning the criminal justice system's
response to technology-facilitated criminal activity. The Handbook
adopts a unique three-fold typology of technology-enabled crime:
techno-crime committed by professional criminals (crime as work),
techno-crime committed in traditional workplace settings (crime at
work), and techno-crime committed by individuals outside of
traditional workplace settings (crime after work.) Chapters explore
an extensive range of criminal activities facilitated by the
digital age, from embezzlement, financial fraud, corporate
espionage, phishing, and ransomware to identity theft, hacking,
cyber terrorism, and internet sex and hate crimes. Looking to the
future, the Handbook considers timely questions posed by our
continued reliance on information technology, including whether we
are in danger of becoming a global surveillance state and how we
might prevent the facilitation of cyber terrorism by social media
giants. This dynamic Handbook will be an invaluable resource for
scholars and students interested in criminology, digital sociology,
terrorism and security, and surveillance studies. Offering
practical insights on the need for a coordinated global
techno-crime control strategy, it will serve as a resource for
policymakers seeking cutting edge solutions to the growing problem
of techno-crime.
