商品描述

 

Cybercrime and Digital Deviance is a work that combines insights from sociology, criminology, and computer science to explore cybercrimes such as hacking and romance scams, along with forms of cyberdeviance such as pornography addiction, trolling, and flaming. Other issues are explored including cybercrime investigations, organized cybercrime, the use of algorithms in policing, cybervictimization, and the theories used to explain cybercrime.

 

Graham and Smith make a conceptual distinction between a terrestrial, physical environment and a single digital environment produced through networked computers. Conceptualizing the online space as a distinct environment for social interaction links this text with assumptions made in the fields of urban sociology or rural criminology. Students in sociology and criminology will have a familiar entry point for understanding what may appear to be a technologically complex course of study. The authors organize all forms of cybercrime and cyberdeviance by applying a typology developed by David Wall: cybertrespass, cyberdeception, cyberviolence, and cyberpornography. This typology is simple enough for students just beginning their inquiry into cybercrime. Because it is based on legal categories of trespassing, fraud, violent crimes against persons, and moral transgressions it provides a solid foundation for deeper study.

 

Taken together, Graham and Smith's application of a digital environment and Wall's cybercrime typology makes this an ideal upper level text for students in sociology and criminal justice. It is also an ideal introductory text for students within the emerging disciplines of cybercrime and cybersecurity.

 

商品描述(中文翻譯)

「網絡犯罪與數位不法行為」是一本結合社會學、犯罪學和計算機科學的著作，探討了黑客攻擊、網路詐騙等網絡犯罪，以及色情成癮、惡意評論和網路爭吵等形式的數位不法行為。書中還探討了網絡犯罪調查、組織犯罪、警務中的演算法應用、網絡受害等問題，以及用於解釋網絡犯罪的理論。

Graham和Smith將地球上的物理環境與通過網絡電腦產生的單一數位環境進行了概念上的區分。將網絡空間概念化為一個獨特的社交互動環境，使本書與城市社會學或鄉村犯罪學領域的假設相關聯。社會學和犯罪學的學生將有一個熟悉的入口點，以理解可能看似技術複雜的學習課程。作者通過應用David Wall提出的分類法，將所有形式的網絡犯罪和數位不法行為進行了組織：網絡侵入、網絡欺騙、網絡暴力和網絡色情。這個分類法對於剛開始研究網絡犯罪的學生來說足夠簡單。因為它基於闖入、詐騙、對人的暴力犯罪和道德違規等法律類別，為更深入的研究提供了堅實的基礎。

綜上所述，Graham和Smith對數位環境的應用以及Wall的網絡犯罪分類法使得這本書成為社會學和刑事司法學領域的高級教材。對於網絡犯罪和網絡安全領域的新興學科的學生來說，這也是一本理想的入門教材。
