Cyber Criminals on Trial
This book comprises an international study of the manner in which cyber criminals are currently handled by the judicial system. As computer-related crime becomes more important globally, both scholarly and journalistic accounts tend to focus on the ways in which the crime has been committed and how it could have been prevented. Very little has been written about the capture, possible extradition, prosecution, sentencing and incarceration of the cyber criminal--until now.
- nbsp;The first book-length study anywhere on this increasingly important issue• Featuring numerous case studies from Australia, the US, UK and Europe• Includes a comprehensive appendix summarising all cases mentioned in the text

Review of the hardback: '… definitely a reference book giving us a thorough analysis of cyber crime. I am convinced that every prosecutor should read it, whether he or she is directly concerned by the issue or not, since even in cases where cyber crime is not directly involved, some techniques related to it may have been used or may have triggered off the commission of other offences.
