Cybercrime: The Psychology of Online Offenders

Cybercrime examines the growing problem of crime carried out with computers. Computers have made some crimes easier to commit and have produced others, such as hacking and virus writing, and the book looks at both kinds.

Its core concern is psychology: what drives and characterises the people who commit these offences, and how the understanding of that psychology can help prevent them. The book is written as a textbook, and it covers the range of offences from music piracy to identity theft and child sex offences.
