Extensively updated and expanded to reflect the evolving landscape
of online crime, this fourth edition of Cybercrime and Society is a
comprehensive and accessible introduction to this complex and
fascinating topic. But just what are cybercrimes? And who
are the cybercriminals? You will learn how the internet and
communication technologies present new challenges to individual and
collective safety, social order and stability, economic prosperity
and political liberty. From hacktivism and digital disobedience to
online harassment and sexual exploitation, Cybercrime and Society
is the definitive book for undergraduate and postgraduate students
studying modules in cybercrime and cybersecurity. The fourth
edition covers new and contemporary issues such as AI and
preventative approaches to counter cybercrimes and also includes
two new chapters: • Online Falsehoods provides coverage of fake
news, disinformation, and conspiracies, each of which have rapidly
become a major online problem with significant consequences •
Illegal Goods and Illicit Markets combines discussion of issues
such as the trade in prohibited goods online and via crypto-markets
with discussion of piracy and copyright crime In addition to the
extensive updating and expansion of the topics covered in the 2019
edition, all kinds of new developments are introduced and assessed.
New case studies and examples are presented, and the international
scope and coverage of the book has been further expanded, with
treatment of the Canadian and Australian contexts being given
greater consideration. Majid Yar is Professor Emeritus of
Criminology at Lancaster University. Kevin F. Steinmetz is a
Professor of Criminology at Kansas State University. Â
Inside the life of a hacker and cybercrime culture. Public
discourse, from pop culture to political rhetoric, portrays hackers
as deceptive, digital villains. But what do we actually know about
them? In Hacked, Kevin F. Steinmetz explores what it means to be a
hacker and the nuances of hacker culture. Through extensive
interviews with hackers, observations of hacker communities, and
analyses of hacker cultural products, Steinmetz demystifies the
figure of the hacker and situates the practice of hacking within
the larger political and economic structures of capitalism, crime,
and control.This captivating book challenges many of the common
narratives of hackers, suggesting that not all forms of hacking are
criminal and, contrary to popular opinion, the broader hacker
community actually plays a vital role in our information economy.
Hacked thus explores how governments, corporations, and other
institutions attempt to manage hacker culture through the creation
of ideologies and laws that protect powerful economic interests.
Not content to simply critique the situation, Steinmetz ends his
work by providing actionable policy recommendations that aim to
redirect the focus from the individual to corporations,
governments, and broader social issues. A compelling study, Hacked
helps us understand not just the figure of the hacker, but also
digital crime and social control in our high-tech society.
