When this book was first published in 2001, the convergence of
communications and computing had begun to transform Western
industrial societies. Increasing connectivity was accompanied by
unprecedented opportunities for crimes of acquisition. The
fundamental principle of criminology is that crime follows
opportunity, and opportunities for theft abound in the digital age.
Electronic Theft named, described and analysed the range of
electronic and digital theft, and constituted the first major
survey of the field. The authors covered a broad list of electronic
misdemeanours, including extortion, defrauding governments,
telephone fraud, securities fraud, deceptive advertising and other
business practices, industrial espionage, intellectual property
crimes, and the misappropriation and unauthorised use of personal
information. They were able to capture impressively large amounts
of data internationally from both scholarly and professional
sources. The book posed and attempted to answer some of the
pressing questions to do with national sovereignty and
enforceability of laws in 2001.
