Cybercrime: Awareness, Prevention, and Response

Cybercrime: Awareness, Prevention, and Response is the first Canadian resource of its kind to effectively address the role of crime within this increasingly digitally dependent age and networked world. A wide spectrum of cybercrimes, including online fraud and exploitation, identity fraud, social engineering, phishing, and cyberbullying, are explained and thoroughly mapped out with prevention strategies, intelligence-gathering tactics, and response plans. With each chapter highlighting real incidents and referencing Canadian content, students and professionals will be equipped to tactfully approach cyber-related crimes from a law enforcement perspective.

This comprehensive resource is essential for anyone working in or being introduced to this growing field, providing readers with an overview of how cybercrimes affect individuals, businesses, governments, institutions, and organizations.
