It is time to arm ourselves with the information we need to remain
safe. Cybercrime: Criminal Threats from Cyberspace is intended to
explain two things: what cybercrime is and why the average citizen
should care about it. To accomplish that task, the book offers an
overview of cybercrime and an in-depth discussion of the legal and
policy issues surrounding it. Enhancing her narrative with
real-life stories, author Susan W. Brenner traces the rise of
cybercrime from mainframe computer hacking in the 1950s to the
organized, professional, and often transnational cybercrime that
has become the norm in the 21st century. She explains the many
different types of computer-facilitated crime, including identity
theft, stalking, extortion, and the use of viruses and worms to
damage computers, and outlines and analyzes the challenges
cybercrime poses for law enforcement officers at the national and
international levels. Finally, she considers the inherent tension
between improving law enforcement's ability to pursue
cybercriminals and protecting the privacy of U.S. citizens.
