Description

Crime in the Digital Age outlines the issues facing domestic and international communities and law enforcement agencies. Potential for crime now mirrors the global reach of telecommunications. The technologies of secrecy and anonymity make detection difficult. The wide varieties of legislative provisions which operate in different jurisdictions also serve to impede law enforcement. Grabosky and Smith illustrate that technology also provides the means to prevent and detect such crimes. Whilst the varied nature of these crimes defies a single policy solution, this analysis is compulsive reading for anyone with an interest in electronic crime.
