March 23, 2015

Dr. Adam Bossler and colleagues Thomas Holt and Kathryn Seigfried-Spellar published “Cybercrime and Digital Forensics: An Introduction” (Routledge) in February 2015.  The textbook offers a comprehensive and integrative introduction to cybercrime and connects the disparate literature on the various types of cybercrime, the investigation and detection of cybercrime, and the wider role of technology as a facilitator for social relationships between deviants and criminals.

It includes coverage of:

• key theoretical and methodological perspectives,
• computer hacking and digital piracy,
• economic crime and online fraud,
• pornography and online sex crime,
• cyber-bulling and cyber-stalking,
• cyber-terrorism and extremism,
• digital forensic investigation and its legal context,
• cybercrime policy.

A well-known cybercrime scholar, Peter Grabosky, stated that this book “is the most thorough and comprehensive introduction to cybercrime and its control… It is, without doubt, the best of its kind.”
