The Third Edition of Cybercrime and Society provides readers with expert analysis on the most important cybercrime issues affecting modern society.

The book has undergone extensive updates and expands on the topics addressed in the 2013 edition, with updated analysis and contemporary case studies on subjects such as: computer hacking, cyberterrorism, hate speech, internet pornography, child sex abuse, and policing the internet.

New author Kevin Steinmetz brings further expertise to the book, including an in-depth insight into computer hacking. The third edition also includes two new chapters:

  • “Researching and Theorizing Cybercrime” explains how criminological theories have been applied to various cybercrime issues, and also highlights the challenges facing the academic study of cybercrime.
  • “Looking toward the Future of Cybercrime” examines the implications for future cybercrimes, including biological implants, cloud-computing, state-sponsored hacking and propaganda, and the effects online regulation would have on civil liberties.

The book is supported by free online resources for lecturers and students, these consist of PowerPoint slides, Multiple-choice questions, access to SAGE video and journal articles, and links to blogs, datasets, and webpages.

Suitable reading for undergraduates and postgraduates studying cybercrime and cybersecurity.

Recenzijas

Packed with reams of new, cutting edge material, Majid Yar and Kevin Steinmetz have managed to broaden an already capacious volume. This is the definitive book on the subject. -- Travis Linnemann, Eastern Kentucky University In an ever-shifting technological landscape, Yar and Steinmetz have successfully and comprehensively captured the nature and scope of cybercrime concerns in contemporary society. With engaging examples and case studies, and astute insights into the concerns and challenges faced in this space, this is a must-buy for scholars of cybercrime. -- Alyce McGovern, University of New South Wales, Australia I am very pleased to see a new edition of Cybercrime and Society, and the addition of Kevin Steinmetz to the authorship. This book has been a staple across my research and teaching. -- Cassandra Cross, School of Justice, Queensland University of Technology

I am a sociologist, criminologist and cultural/media analyst, with more than two decades of experience spanning academic research, teaching, writing, editing, leadership and mentoring.





Educated at the Universities of York and Lancaster, I have held Faculty positions at the Universities of Lancaster, Kent, Keele and latterly Hull, where I was Professor of Sociology between 2008 and 2015.





I have authored more than half a dozen scholarly books and dozens of peer-reviewed articles, and also conducted social scientific research with and for government, charities and business organisations. I have served as an external examiner for undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in the UK, as well as assessing PhD theses in the UK and Australia across the fields of sociology, criminology and political theory. I serve on the Editorial Boards of a number of leading journals, regularly work with and advise academic publishers in the UK and United States, and provide editorial, advisory and mentoring services for clients ranging from undergraduate and post-graduate students to tenured Faculty.  

Dr. Kevin Steinmetz is a criminologist on faculty within the Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Social Work. He maintains multiple research interests but his primary area of study is technocrime and control.  In addition, Dr. Steinmetz examines racial inequalities within the criminal justice system as well as issues surrounding popular culture, crime, and crime control. His research has appeared in peer-reviewed journals such as The British Journal of Criminology, Theoretical Criminology,Deviant Behavior, Race & Justice, and Social Justice, to name a few.  Be sure to check out his books, Hacked: A Radical Approach to Hacker Culture and Crime (NYU Press), Technocrime and Criminological Theory (Routledge, co-edited with Matt R. Nobles), and the forthcoming third edition of Cybercrime & Society (Sage, co-authored with Majid Yar).
