Product Description

Review

...there are several nuggets of insight for both security professionals and communications theorists. Recommended for practitioners, graduate students and faculty..
–-D. McIntosh, Choice

Book Description

Cybercrime focuses on the growing concern about the use of electronic communication for criminal activities and the appropriateness of the countermeasures that are being adopted by law enforcement agencies, security services and legislators to address such anxieties. Fuelled by sensational media headlines and news coverage which has done much to encourage the belief that technologies like the Internet are likely to lead to a lawless electronic frontier, Cybercrime provides a more considered and balanced perspective on what is an important and contested arena for debate. It looks at:
*legislation
*electronic criminal behaviour
*privacy and liberty
*the dangers of surveillance.
Cybercrime explains the basic issues surrounding cybercrime and its impact on society.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cybercrime- Know What's Happening Before It Happens To You, Jun 26 2000

Adam Pharis (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cybercrime: Security and Surveillance in the Information Age (Hardcover)

This book is a great reminder of how the internet world can be today. Thomas did a wonderful job of collecting facts, ideas, and views of all the danger that the public is facing today. I recently spoke with a member of a group mentioned in the book that I happen to know, and he referred it to me. It was a great way to pass the time and help learn about mistakes that you could make.
