Investigating Digital Crime
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, May 2008, Pages: 264
Investigating Digital Crime is an accessible introduction to the relationship between the growth of new (often) digital technologies and the parallel growth in criminal exploitation if these technologies. The book also examines the reaction of the criminal justice system to new technology crime, both in terms of the general legislative context but also from the perspective of law enforcement. Providing a clear understanding of the different forms of new technology crime, this book is devoted to the description and analysis of new technology crimes such as smartcard crime, cybercrimes and telecommunication crimes- placed within a number of theoretical perspectives in order to enhance student understanding. The book clearly identifies the relationship between developments in digital technologies and changes in criminal behaviour.
Numerous case studies are provided throughout with examples from the UK, Europe and the US to illustrate both the theoretical perspectives offered and the associated investigative context. Opening with an introduction to the challenges of new technology crime and background to the phenomena, the book then moves on to discuss the legislative context, for example, how the interception of email can be used as evidence in court. The latter half of the book examines the different forms of new technology crime from games consoles, mobile phones, forms of identity theft through to card crime and sex offenders and new technology.
