Hypercrime develops a new theoretical approach toward current
reformulations in criminal behaviours, in particular the phenomenon
of cybercrime. Emphasizing a spatialized conception of deviance,
one that clarifies the continuities between crime in the
traditional, physical context and developing spaces of interaction
such as a 'cyberspace', this book analyzes criminal behaviours in
terms of the destructions, degradations or incursions to a
hierarchy of regions that define our social world. Each chapter
outlines violations to the boundaries of each of these spaces -
from those defined by our bodies or our property, to the more
subtle borders of the local and global spaces we inhabit. By
treating cybercrime as but one instance of various possible
criminal virtualities, the book develops a general theoretical
framework, as equally applicable to the, as yet unrealized,
technologies of criminal behaviour of the next century, as it is to
those which relate to contemporary computer networks. Cybercrime is
thereby conceptualized as one of a variety of geometries of harm,
merely the latest of many that have extended opportunities for
illicit gain in the physical world. Hypercrime offers a radical
critique of the narrow conceptions of cybercrime offered by current
justice systems and challenges the governing presumptions about the
nature of the threat posed by it. Runner-up for the British Society
of Criminology Book Prize (2008).
