Publisher's Synopsis
In this brief, accessible text, Peter Grabosky provides an introductory overview of cybercrime and the means for its control. He opens with a brief history of the topic and then discusses not only traditional topics--including fraud, hacking, offensive content, and piracy--but also neglected issues like state and state-sponsored cybercrime. About the Series Keynotes in Criminology and Criminal Justice provides essential knowledge on important contemporary matters of crime, law, and justice to a broad audience of readers. Each volume is written by a leading scholar in that area. Concise, accessible, and affordable, these texts are designed to serve either as primers around which courses can be built or as supplemental books for a variety of courses.
