Cyber Criminology: Exploring Internet Crimes and Criminal Behavior

Victimization through the Internet is becoming more prevalent as cyber criminals have developed more effective ways to remain anonymous. This volume explores today's interface of computer science, Internet science, and criminology. Topics discussed include the growing menace of cyber crime in Nigeria, Internet gambling and digital piracy, cyber stalking and sexual addiction on the Internet, child pornography, and the online exploitation of children. The book also examines terrorist use of the Internet, victimization on social networking websites, malware and hacking, the Islamic world in cyberspace, and human rights concerns that the digital age has created.
