About this book
This edited collection presents current research dealing with crime involving information and communications technologies in the months immediately before, during and following the coronavirus pandemic since 2019. Information and communications technologies played a pivotal role during the pandemic in communicating information across the globe on the risks and responses to the pandemic but also in providing opportunities for various forms of illegality. This volume describes the nature and extent of such illegality, its connection to the pandemic and how digital technologies can assist in solving not only the health crisis but also the associated crime problems. The contributors are established academic scholars and policy practitioners in the fields of cybercrime and computer forensics. This book provides a ready source of content including technological solutions to cybercrime, legal and legislative responses, crime prevention initiatives and policy discussions dealing with the most critical issues present during and following the pandemic.
Reviews
Combining empirical engagement and socio-legal thinking, Cybercrime in the Pandemic Digital Age and Beyond makes an insightful contribution offering to both academic scholars and practitioners an engaging and topical reading on cybercrime during a time of crisis, and forcing us to think about some of the challenges and opportunities ahead.
