Cybercrimes are often viewed as technical offenses that require
technical solutions, such as antivirus programs or automated
intrusion detection tools. However, these crimes are committed by
individuals or networks of people which prey upon human victims and
are detected and prosecuted by criminal justice personnel. As a
result, human decision-making plays a substantial role in the
course of an offence, the justice response, and policymakers'
attempts to legislate against these crimes. This book focuses on
the human factor in cybercrime: its offenders, victims, and parties
involved in tackling cybercrime. The distinct nature of cybercrime
has consequences for the entire spectrum of crime and raises myriad
questions about the nature of offending and victimization. For
example, are cybercriminals the same as traditional offenders, or
are there new offender types with distinct characteristics and
motives? What foreground and situational characteristics influence
the decision-making process of offenders? Which personal and
situational characteristics provide an increased or decreased risk
of cybercrime victimization? This book brings together leading
criminologists from around the world to consider these questions
and examine all facets of victimization, offending, offender
networks, and policy responses.
