Cyberspace opens up infinitely new possibilities to the deviant
imagination. With access to the Internet and sufficient know-how
you can, if you are so inclined, buy a bride, cruise gay bars, go
on a global shopping spree with someone else's credit card, break
into a bank's security system, plan a demonstration in another
country and hack into the Pentagon all on the same day. In more
than any other medium, time and place are transcended, undermining
the traditional relationship between physical context and social
situation. This book crosses the boundaries of sociological,
criminological and cultural discourse in order to explore the
implications of these massive transformations in information and
communication technologies for the growth of criminal and deviant
identities and behaviour on the Internet. This is a book not about
computers, nor about legal controversies over the regulation of
cyberspace, but about people and the new patterns of human
identity, behaviour and association that are emerging as a result
of the communications revolution.
