Professor Chang s very thoughtful and impressively researched study
of cybercrime in the greater China region is an invaluable
contribution to the information and analyses available in this
area. It not only provides important, and heretofore unavailable
data, about the incidence and nature of cybercrime in this region,
it also offers insightful suggestions into how this problem can
most effectively be controlled. It belongs in the library of anyone
interested in this area.' - Susan Brenner, University of Dayton, US
'East Asia is a heartland of the variegated scams of the cybercrime
problem. Yao Chung Chang's book is an innovative application of
routine activity theory and regulatory theory to cybercrime
prevention across the cybergulf between China and Taiwan. The long
march through the scams and across the Taiwan Strait is
fascinating. Chang leads us to ponder a wiki cybercrime prevention
strategy that might work in such treacherous waters.' - John
Braithwaite, Australian National University 'Very rarely do you
read books that impress these days, but for me Cybercrime in the
Greater China Region was one of them. Dr Chang is one of a number
of young and exciting international academics who are exploring
previously unchartered territory in their quest for new
understandings about cybercrime. In his book, Dr Chang manages to
locate a global policing problem within the sometimes tense
political and cultural constraints of regional policing. For me,
Professor Grabosky neatly sums up the strengths of the book in his
foreword, I can only endorse them. - David S. Wall, University
College, Durham University, UK 'Lennon's research is an important
contribution to the current limited understanding of the
cybercrimes and related laws/regulations and incident reporting
issues across the straits between the two major economies in the
Asia region. A well researched book, and highly informative with
practical suggestions for enhancing visibility and cooperation to
improve the overall state of cybersecurity in the region,
especially between the two economies. - Meng-Chow Kang, Cisco
Systems, China Cybercrime is a worldwide problem of rapidly
increasing magnitude and, of the countries in the Asia Pacific
region, Taiwan and China are suffering most. This timely book
discusses the extent and nature of cybercrime in and between Taiwan
and China, focussing especially on the prevalence of botnets
(collections of computers that have been compromised and used for
malicious purposes). The book uses routine activity theory to
analyse Chinese and Taiwanese legal responses to cybercrime, and
reviews mutual assistance between the two countries as well as
discussing third party cooperation. To prevent the spread of
cybercrime, the book argues the case for a 'wiki' approach to
cybercrime and a feasible pre-warning system. Learning from lessons
in infectious disease prevention and from aviation safety
reporting, Cybercrime in the Greater China Region proposes a
feasible information security incident reporting and response
system. Academics, government agency workers, policymakers and
those in the information security or legal compliance divisions in
public and private sectors will find much to interest them in this
timely study. Contents: Foreword Part I: Setting the Scene 1.
