Cybercrime by Peter Grabosky
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.
Peter Grabosky's short book is ideal for an introductory course on cybercrimeIt is comprehensive, well organized, up to date, and impeccably clear and accurate. I will certainly require it for my law school course. While he is an Australian scholar, the book has better coverage of U.S. developments than anything I have seen. * James B. Jacobs, NYU School of Law *
This is a useful and engaging introduction to the rapidly evolving field of cybercrime. It is strongly recommended as an introductory reader for undergraduate and even postgraduate classes in cybercrime/cybersecurity. The book is mercifully jargon free and would be highly accessible to non-specialists and specialists alike. * Roderic Broadhurst, Australian National University *
