Rezensionen

"This work offers not only traditional criminological inquiries into cybercrime, but also an essential critical criminological examination which is sorely needed. These studies help to define new areas of inquiry for social scientists."

-Thomas Holt, Professor, School of Criminal Justice, Michigan State University





"Technocrime has quickly emerged as a major new category of crime, impacting millions and often dominating news reports. This important volume fills a major void in the literature by applying the leading crime theories to the explanation of varied forms of technocrime and pointing to directionsfor further research."

-Robert Agnew, Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Sociology, Emory University; Past President, American Society of Criminology
