Read for school, during the course of "Media & Crime". Reading this made me both paranoid, terrified and ultimately wary of the internet as an arena to be in. Not so much that it put me off the internet, but rather that it seems to contain the same amount of risk as real life interactions do. I learned a lot from reading this, about the risks of course and also the laws, the dilemmas, and I much appreciated the critical perspective of the author on each subject. It's an interesting book to read even if it's not for school, is my opinion as least.

Well Researched

An excellent introduction to the interaction of cyber activity and society. Includes the complexity of governing and policing digital activities and the challenges across countries in trying to fight digital crime.

Very good but quickly outdated. Just purchased the newer edition which I hope resolves many of the research holes discovered in this otherwise great academic piece.
