Stéphane Leman-Langlois, "Technocrime: Technology, Crime and Social Control"
English | 2008 | pages: 283 | ISBN: 1843923866 | PDF | 5,8 mb
This book is concerned with the concept of 'technocrime'. The term encompasses crimes committed on or with computers - the standard definition of cybercrime - but it goes well beyond this to convey the idea that technology enables an entirely new way of committing, combating and thinking about criminality, criminals, police, courts, victims and citizens. Technology offers, for example, not only new ways of combating crime, but also new ways to look for, unveil, and label crimes, and new ways to know, watch, prosecute and punish criminals.
