Future Crimes by Marc Goodman
Technological advances have benefited our world in immeasurable ways, but there is an ominous flipside. Criminals have adopted technology and modern times have led to modern crimes: 3D printers produce AK-47s, terrorists can download the recipe for the Ebola virus, and drug cartels are building drones. This book deals with this topic.
