Table of ContentsCybercrime and the Internet: An Introduction Hackers, Crackers and Viral Coders Political Hacking: From Hacktivism to Cyberterrorism Virtual 'Pirates': Intellectual Property Theft Online Cyber-Frauds, Scams and Cons Illegal, Harmful and Offensive Content Online: From Hate Speech to Child Pornography The Victimisation of Individuals Online: Cyberstalking and Paedophilia Cybercrimes and Cyberliberties: Surveillance, Privacy and Crime ControlReviewsCriminology has been rather slow to recognise the importance of cyberspace in changing the nature and scope of offending and victimisation, and a comprehensive introductory textbook on cybercrime and its social implications is long overdue. One of the many strengths of Majid Yar's book is that it avoids 'techy' jargon and unites criminological and sociological perspectives in discussions of cybercrime, cyber-deviance and cyber-freedoms. Yar successfully de-mystifies a subject that causes many criminologists to feel out of their depth (or at least their comfort zone). Cybercrime & Society should be the first point of reference for any student of new media and crime. Dr Yvonne Jewkes, Reader in Criminology, The Open University An engaging book full of lively discussion and careful explanation of the issues. Majid Yar manages to achieve the seemingly impossible task of balancing theory with action. I shall certainly recommend it to my own cybercrime students. Professor David S.
