Extensively updated and expanded to reflect the evolving landscape
of online crime, this fourth edition of Cybercrime and Society is a
comprehensive and accessible introduction to this complex and
fascinating topic. But just what are cybercrimes? And who
are the cybercriminals? You will learn how the internet and
communication technologies present new challenges to individual and
collective safety, social order and stability, economic prosperity
and political liberty. From hacktivism and digital disobedience to
online harassment and sexual exploitation, Cybercrime and Society
is the definitive book for undergraduate and postgraduate students
studying modules in cybercrime and cybersecurity. The fourth
edition covers new and contemporary issues such as AI and
preventative approaches to counter cybercrimes and also includes
two new chapters: • Online Falsehoods provides coverage of fake
news, disinformation, and conspiracies, each of which have rapidly
become a major online problem with significant consequences •
Illegal Goods and Illicit Markets combines discussion of issues
such as the trade in prohibited goods online and via crypto-markets
with discussion of piracy and copyright crime In addition to the
extensive updating and expansion of the topics covered in the 2019
edition, all kinds of new developments are introduced and assessed.
New case studies and examples are presented, and the international
scope and coverage of the book has been further expanded, with
treatment of the Canadian and Australian contexts being given
greater consideration. Majid Yar is Professor Emeritus of
Criminology at Lancaster University. Kevin F. Steinmetz is a
