Cyber Crime Technology

Against Cybercrime by Steinmetz proposes a realist criminology approach to understanding and addressing computer crime. It critiques current crime control strategies, emphasizing policies that target root causes, mitigate harm to victims, and avoid expanding state and corporate surveillance. The book explores definitions of harm, online locality and community dynamics, and the social relations driving computer crime. It challenges positivist "computational criminology," advocating for more nuanced research methodologies and structural reform over piecemeal solutions. Essential for scholars of cybercrime and criminological theory, it offers a critical framework for addressing online harm and shaping effective, ethical policies.

comprehensively discusses the implications of cloud (storage) services and mobile applications on digital forensic investigations. The book provides both digital forensic practitioners and researchers with an up-to-date and advanced knowledge of collecting and preserving electronic evidence from different types of cloud services, such as digital remnants of cloud applications accessed through mobile devices.

In this updated edition, David Wall explores how the digital revolution has transformed criminal behavior, with a focus on cybercrime. He compares it to traditional crime, highlighting its democratizing effect on criminal opportunities and its impact on public security. Wall addresses the regulatory challenges and the emerging cybercrime ecosystem, making this an essential resource for students in social sciences and computer science.
In this updated edition of his authoritative and field-defining text, cybercrime expert David Wall carefully examines these and other important issues. Incorporating analysis of the latest technological advances and their criminological implications, he disentangles what is really known about cybercrime today. An ecosystem of specialists has emerged to facilitate cybercrime, reducing individual offenders’ level of risk and increasing the scale of crimes involved. This is a world where digital and networked technologies have effectively democratized crime by enabling almost anybody to carry out crimes that were previously the preserve of either traditional organized crime groups or a privileged coterie of powerful people. Against this background, the author scrutinizes the regulatory challenges that cybercrime poses for the criminal (and civil) justice processes, at both the national and the international levels.

This book offers the most intellectually robust account of cybercrime currently available. It is suitable for use on courses across the social sciences, and in computer science, and will appeal to advanced undergraduate and graduate students.
