| Summary |
"We live in a digital age. The proliferation of digital technology, and the convergence of computing and communication devices, have transformed the way in which we socialize and do business. While overwhelmingly positive, there has also been a dark side to these developments proving the maxim that crime follows opportunity, virtually every advance has been accompanied by a corresponding niche to be exploited for criminal purposes: so-called 'cybercrimes'. Whether it is fraud, child pornography, stalking, criminal copyright infringement or attacks on computers themselves, criminals will find ways to exploit new technology. The challenge for all countries is to ensure their criminal laws keep pace. The challenge is a global one, and much can be learned from the experience of other jurisdictions Focusing on Australia, Canada, the UK and USA, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of the legal principles that apply to the prosecution of cybercrimes."--Jacket |
