Policing cybercrime : networked and social media technologies and the challenges for policing /
Policing cybercrime : networked and social media technologies and the challenges for policing /
edited by David S. Wall and Matthew L. Williams.
- x, 154 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 26 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index.
This collection addresses the recent 'inertia' in both critical thinking and the empirical study of cybercrime and policing. The chapters illustrate that cybercrimes are changing in two significant ways that are asymmetrical. On the one hand cybercrime is becoming increasingly professionalised, resulting in 'specialists' that perform complex and sophisticated attacks on computer systems and human users. On the other, the 'hyper-connectivity' brought about by the exponential growth in social media users has opened up opportunities to 'non-specialist' citizens to organise and communicate in ways that facilitate crimes on and offline.
