About this book

This volume provides an overview of cyber economic crime in India, analyzing fifteen years of data and specific case studies from Mumbai to add to the limited research in cyber economic crime detection. Centering around an integrated victim-centered approach to investigating a global crime on the local level, the book examines the criminal justice system response to cyber economic crime and proposes new methods of detection and prevention. It considers the threat from a national security perspective, a cybercrime perspective, and as a technical threat to business and technology installations.

Among the topics discussed:

  • Changing landscape of crime in cyberspace
  • Cybercrime typology
  • Legal framework for cyber economic crime in India
  • Cyber security mechanisms in India

A valuable resource for law enforcement and police working on the local, national, and global level in the detection and prevention of cybercrime, CyberEconomic Crime in India will also be of interest to researchers and practitioners working in financial crimes and white collar crime.
