for computer crimes and computer-related crimes?"
The authors are well-known policymakers, practitioners and researchers. In their
interpretations and answers to the questions posed they focus either on general issues or on
details that shed light on the relationships between crime and technology. The challenge
remains on the capability of legislation, law enforcement and research to take the best from
technology and use it to combat crime and at the same time to oppose the use of technology
by criminals in committing their crimes. This process needs flexibility in legislation, better
training in law enforcement and good quality research oriented to help policy solutions and,
finally, a good partnership between public authorities, law enforcement, private authorities
and consumers associations.
This book is of interest to academics and to personnel working in international organizations
or in law enforcement areas.
