Cybercrime in Context
This book is about the human factor in cybercrime: its offenders, victims and parties involved in tackling cybercrime. It takes a diverse international perspective of the response to and prevention of cybercrime by seeking to understand not just the technological, but the human decision-making involved. This edited volume represents the state of the art of research on the human factor in cybercrime, addressing its victims, offenders, and policing. It originated at the Second annual Conference on the Human Factor in Cybercrime, held in The Netherlands in October 2019, bringing together empirical research from a variety of disciplines, and theoretical and methodological approaches. This volume will be of particular interest to researchers and students in cybercrime and the psychology of cybercrime, as well as policy makers and law enforcement interested in prevention and detection.
The Human Factor of Cybercrime
Cybercrimes are often viewed as technical offenses that require technical solutions, such as antivirus programs or automated intrusion detection tools. However, these crimes are committed by individuals or networks of people which prey upon human victims and are detected and prosecuted by criminal justice personnel. As a result, human decision-making plays a substantial role in the course of an offence, the justice response, and policymakers' attempts to legislate against these crimes. This book focuses on the human factor in cybercrime: its offenders, victims, and parties involved in tackling cybercrime. The distinct nature of cybercrime has consequences for the entire spectrum of crime and...
Cybercriminal Networks
Cybercriminal networks make use of digital means, such as phishing, malware, or hacking to steal money from customers of financial institutions. The author analyzes the processes of origin, growth, and criminal capabilities to put forward several explanations for the differences found between traditional criminal networks and cybercriminal networks. Although the majority of these cybercriminal networks still rely on real-world social ties for their origin and growth, some networks make full use of the advantages that digitization provides. As a new kind of offender convergence setting, forums provide a fluid form of cooperation, making dependency relationships seen in traditional criminal ne...
Cybercriminal Networks
This book is about cybercriminal networks that make use of digital means. The author analyzes the processes of origin and growthand criminal capabilities, and puts forward several explanations for the differences found between traditional criminal networks and cybercriminal networks. Some networks make full use of the advantages that digitization provides. Forums provide a fluid form of cooperation, making dependency relationships seen in traditional criminal networks less important. Furthermore, examples were found of prolonged, repeated interaction through online communities, which raises the question to what extent digital social ties differ from their real-world counterparts. This study forms an important evidence-based contribution to the criminological knowledge about cybercriminal networks. Based on the empirical results, the author outlines possibilities for situational crime prevention against cybercriminal networks. This book will therefore be of interest both to academics and practitioners in the field of cybercrime and cyber security.
The Human Factor in Cybercrime and Cybersecurity
With the digitization of society, crime has also digitized. Digitization has consequences for the entire spectrum of crime and raises all sorts of questions. For example, are we dealing with a new type of offender, or with the same old offenders who simply moved their activities online? How can potential victims be made resilient against attacks? And who should protect potential victims: the police, commercial cybersecurity companies, or internet service providers? To date, many of these questions remain unanswered. This is partly because current studies have a strong focus on technology or are exploratory in nature, suffer from methodological limitations and focus on just a few of the many types of cybercrime. The aim of this research agenda is to stimulate research on the human factor in cybercrime and cybersecurity. The agenda provides the state-of-the-art of research on the role of the human factor in this field. In addition, examples are given of important research questions and innovative methods and datasets that are needed for future studies.
Cyber Safety
Introduction to the field of Cyber safety, wider than the commonly used concept 'cybercrime'. Different perspectives: juridical, technological, sociological & criminological. Cybercrimes reviewed are hacking, e-fraud, child pornography, unautorised file sharing and cyber warfare. Techniques like botnets, social engineering, DDoS-attacks and phishing are adressed. A special part is dedicated to youth and cyber safety: online sexual solicitations, implicit internet material, cyber bullying and video games. Also adressed are the roles of various organisations such as Internet Service Providers, Police, and governemnts. This book is an initiative of the Cyber Safety Research Group of NHL University of applied sciences and Police Academy of the Netherlands.
Victimisation in a Digitised Society
This publication is about what is happening in society in the sphere of crime victimisation with a digital component. This kind of victimisation includes various punishable acts, such as hacking and spreading malware, but also e-fraud and stalking on the internet. The Dutch government is giving priority to investigating and combatting cybercrime, and is taking various legal and organisational measures in this regard. The objective is to enable the criminal justice system to combat cybercrime effectively. Investigative policy demands that the police and judicial authorities set priorities. The most serious problems deserve to be addressed first. The gravity of a problem is determined by its nature as well as its extent. Less is known about the extent of cybercrime than about its nature. Every now and again, experts and those directly involved make known that a certain type of crime is increasing alarmingly, but systematic and thorough research into the extent of cybercrime is notably absent.
The Art of the Internet
In 2004, the Netherlands' Minister of Justice ordered an investigation into antique and art dealings within the framework of the 'Program to prevent organized crime.' It emerged from this investigation that Internet auctions are gaining ground compared to normal auctions. A survey carried out in 2007 by Interpol indicates an increase in illicit trafficking in cultural goods on the web. However, it is difficult to assess the precise role of the Internet within this illegal trade and the way buyers and sellers go about their business on the web. To gain better insight into the nature and scale of the trade in cultural goods on the Internet, the Ministry of Education, Culture, and Science commi...
Fieldwork Experiences in Criminology and Security Studies
This book compiles the fieldwork experiences of 55 researchers, addressing the challenges, ethical considerations, and methodologies employed to study 30 diverse populations and phenomena within Criminology and Security Studies. This volume contributes to filling a gap in academic literature by highlighting the often unspoken realities and intricacies of fieldwork. The book is systematically structured into five thematic sections: The Powerful, The Invisible, The Vulnerable, The Violent, and The Cyber. These categories encompass various aspects and dimensions of fieldwork, including managing emotional distress, negotiating access through gatekeepers, ensuring the protection of informants, an...
Researching Cybercrimes
This edited book promotes and facilitates cybercrime research by providing a cutting-edge collection of perspectives on the critical usage of online data across platforms, as well as the implementation of both traditional and innovative analysis methods. The accessibility, variety and wealth of data available online presents substantial opportunities for researchers from different disciplines to study cybercrimes and, more generally, human behavior in cyberspace. The unique and dynamic characteristics of cyberspace often demand cross-disciplinary and cross-national research endeavors, but disciplinary, cultural and legal differences can hinder the ability of researchers to collaborate. This work also provides a review of the ethics associated with the use of online data sources across the globe. The authors are drawn from multiple disciplines and nations, providing unique insights into the value and challenges evident in online data use for cybercrime scholarship. It is a key text for researchers at the upper undergraduate level and above.
