Before the advent of the widespread use of the internet, bullying was confined to school grounds, classrooms, and backyards. Now, the virulence of... bullying has taken on new meaning, as bullies take to the web to intimidate, harrass, embarrass, and offend others. Through email, cell phones, text messaging, and social networking sites, bullies can carry out their bullying in many cases without ever having to confront their victims, and often without consequence. Whereas the audiences for humiliation in the past was often limited to those who witnessed the bullying and perhaps talked to others about it, now, bullying takes place in cyberspace, where images and audio can be posted online for whole school communities to witness, discuss, and comment on. The social, psychological, and sometimes economic trauma experienced by victims can be devastating, and in some cases, cyber bullying has crossed the line and became a criminal act.Because just about anyone can be the victim of cyber bullying, and because it often goes unreported, there are precious few resources available to victims, parents, teachers, and others interested in combatting this new form of bullying. This book provides, however, a thoroughly developed, well-researched analysis of cyber bullying - what it is, how it is carried out, who is affected, and what can and should be done to prevent and control its occurrence in society. The book captures the sensational, technological, and horrific aspects of cyber bullying while balancing these with discussion from perspectives about social computing, various academic disciplines, possibilities for public policy and legislation formulation, education, and crime prevention strategies. Using case examples throughout, readers will come away with a new sense of indignation for the victims and a better understanding of the growing problem and how to combat it.

Cyber Crime and Digital Evidence Materials and Cases is designed to be an accessible introduction to Cyber Crime and Digital Evidence. The title... illuminates two significant aspects of this book. First, cyber crime is only a subset of a much broader trend in the criminal area, which is the use of digital evidence in virtually all criminal cases. Hence, it is important to understand the legal framework that regulates obtaining that increasingly used and important evidence. Second, this book provides a broader framework than an endless stream of cases offers. Law students deserve the broader context and, hopefully, will get some of it with this book. Here is a summary of the topics covered throughout the twenty chapters in this exciting new book: •   Obtaining Digital Evidence •   Fourth Amendment Applicability: "Inside the Box" •   Competing Views of the Nature of Digital Evidence Searches •   Warrants for Digital Evidence: Particularity Claims and Broad Seizures •   Search Execution Issues •   Consent Searches: Compelling Disclosure of Passwords •   Cell phones, Other Mobile Digital Devices, and Traditional Fourth Amendment Doctrine Permitting Warrantless Searches •   Seizures of Digital Evidence •   Searches at the International Border •   Fourth Amendment Applicability to Networks and the Internet •   Statutory Regulation of Obtaining Data •   Obscenity and Child Pornography •   Policing the Internet for Crimes Involving Exploitation of Children •   Property Crimes and Computer Misuse •   Computer Specific Crimes: Unauthorized Access, Fraud, and Damage •   Intellectual Property Theft •   Spyway, Adware, Malware, Phishing, Spam and Identity-Related Crime •   Other Crimes Against Persons (Cyberbullying, Threats, Stalking) •   Sentencing

Cybercrime: Criminal Threats from Cyberspace is intended to explain two things: what cybercrime is and why the average citizen should care about it. To... accomplish that task, the book offers an overview of cybercrime and an in-depth discussion of the legal and policy issues surrounding it. Enhancing her narrative with real-life stories, author Susan W. Brenner traces the rise of cybercrime from mainframe computer hacking in the 1950s to the organized, professional, and often transnational cybercrime that has become the norm in the 21st century. She explains the many different types of computer-facilitated crime, including identity theft, stalking, extortion, and the use of viruses and worms to damage computers, and outlines and analyzes the challenges cybercrime poses for law enforcement officers at the national and international levels. Finally, she considers the inherent tension between improving law enforcement's ability to pursue cybercriminals and protecting the privacy of U.S. citizens.
