Police Cybercrime Training: Strategies, Delivery and Perceptions

A Cyber crime is defined as any crime that is committed using a computer. As globalization and technology advances, it creates a network that caters for all internet crimes. The use of information and communication technologies has made it easier for criminals to commit crimes and bypass the National boundaries. The increasing use of technology has affected the nature of crimes. According to the 2012 Crime Survey for England and Wales it was discovered that 1 in 3 adults fall victim to an internet crime which is higher than the recorded offline crime figures. These figures against the National Police recorded Statistics show there is a real concern in regards to Cyber crime. Criminals possess high skills that can use the internet to conduct sophisticated crimes that can exploit the vulnerabilities online.

Cyberspace presents an exciting new frontier for criminologists. Virtual reality and computer mediated communications challenge the traditional discourse of criminology, introducing new forms of deviance, crime, and social control (McKenzie 1996). Since the 1990s, academics have observed how the cyberspace has emerged as a new locus of criminal activity (Thomas and Loader 2000; Littlewood 2003; Yar 2005), but in general, criminology has been remiss in its research into the phenomena of cyber crime and has been slow to recognize the importance of cyberspace in changing the nature and scope of offending and victimization (Mann and Sutton 1998; Jewkes 2006). A new, radical discipline named cyber criminology is the need of the hour to explain and analyze the crimes in the internet.

This self-published book is very much a book for the operational practitioner. An easy to read text that provides a broad overview relating to Federal Agent Nigel Phair’s experience whilst working at the Australian High Tech Crime Centre in Canberra and as a member of the Australian Federal Police.

The introduction, I presume in an effort to allay our fears, states "The Internet is not of the Wild West, as was once portrayed in American Western movies. It is just another public place and Internet users need to use real-world sensibilities when operating in the online environment." Phew, thank goodness for that! But h...

SEEU Review, 2020

When comparing 100 years ago and today, we always mention the social, economic and political changes that have influenced the emergence and development of the opportunities that we have today, with special emphasis on technological changes. Technology has evolved so fast that it seems that in the blink of an eye something new has just hit the market. Whether we like it or not, technology has become part of us, part of our lives, where we upon spend a great deal of the day with at least one of our technological devices with which we perform many tasks. Nowadays there are limitless possibilities of gathering information, business, shop, and almost anything through the internet. Although it is a very easy to make payments online, it can be quite risky, because not every website offers the security and convenience for purchasing the product we want and we may have doubts whether the money we have paid has gone to the right place and for the specific service, which we have paid for.
