Amidst the sensationalist claims about the dangers of the Internet,
Virtually Criminal provides an empirically grounded criminological
analysis of deviance and regulation within an online community. It
integrates theory and empiricism to forge an explanation of
cybercrime whilst offering new insights into online regulation. One
of the first studies to further our understanding of the causes of
cyber deviance, crime and its control, this groundbreaking study
from Matthew Williams takes the Internet as a site of social and
cultural (re)production, and acknowledges the importance of online
social/cultural formations in the genesis and regulation of cyber
deviance and crime. A blend of criminological, sociological and
linguistic theory, this book provides a unique understanding of the
aetiology of cybercrime and deviance. Focus group and offence data
are analyzed and an interrelationship between online community,
deviance and regulation is established. The subject matter of the
book is inherently transnational. It makes extensive use of a
number of international case studies, ensuring it is relevant to
readers in multiple countries (especially the US, the UK and
Australasia). Pioneering and innovative, this fascinating book will
be of interest to students and researchers across the disciplines
of sociology, criminology, law and media and communication studies.
