Cyber crime: A review of the evidence
Mike McGuire, Samantha Dowling · 2013
This review focuses on evidence relating to cyber-dependent crimes (for example, the spread of viruses and other malware; hacking and DDoS attacks) and cyber-enabled crimes (for example, cyber-enabled fraud and theft; and sexual offending against children, including grooming and indecent imagery). The review also considers the available evidence regarding victims, offenders and the costs of cyber crime. The final chapter highlights various challenges with the cyber crime evidence base, and proposes further steps for improving the measurement of cyber crime.
