From Computer Abuse To Cybercrime
Ian Walden · 2007
Abstract The proliferation and integration of computer and communication technologies into every aspect of our society have inevitably led to criminal activities involving their use. Such activities, labelled with the shorthand ‘computer crime’ or ‘cybercrime’, are the subject matter for this book. Regular stories feature in the media on computer crime, covering topics from hackers to viruses, ‘webjackers’ to Internet paedophiles; sometimes accurately portraying events, sometimes misconceiving the role of technology in such activities.
