Cybercrimes Critical Issues in a Global Context
No full textThis new textbook offers a systematic introduction to a wide array of cybercrimes, exploring their diversity and the range of possible responses to them. Combining coverage of theoretical perspectives with more technical knowledge, the book is divided into ten chapters which first lay the foundations of the topic and then consider the most important types of cybercrimes – from crimes against devices to political offences – before finally exploring ways to prevent, disrupt, analyse and better comprehend them. Examples from several countries are included, in the attempt to show how crime and deviance in cyberspace are truly global problems, with different countries experiencing comparable sets of challenges. At the same time, the author illustrates how these challenges manifest themselves differently, depending on the socio-legal culture of reference.
This text offers an accessible introduction to the topic for all those studying cybercrimes at undergraduate or postgraduate level. Whether students approach the topic from a criminological, legal or computer science perspective, this multidisciplinary approach of this text provides a common language to guide them through the intricacies of criminal and deviant behaviours in cyberspace

No full textThe purpose of STAIDCC20 workshop is to bring together a mixture of inter-disciplinary researchers and practitioners working in defence, cybercrime and cybersecurity application areas to discuss and explore the challenges and future research directions around socio-technical AI systems. The workshop will showcase where the state of the art is in socio-technical AI, charting a path around issues including transparency, trustworthiness, explaining bias and error, incorporating human judgment and ethical frameworks for deployment of socio-technical AI in the future
Epistemologies of cyberspace: notes for interdisciplinary research
No full textIn researching cybercrimes, attention is increasingly turning toward multi- and interdisciplinary approaches that draw on intellectual and methodological insights from both the computer and the social sciences. While promising, these approaches are not easy to be implemented, as they require different disciplines and professions to make a serious effort in understanding each other’s language, theoretical and methodological frameworks and standards—which may vary considerably. Furthermore, epistemologies at the very basis of different disciplines are at times, at least apparently, not well aligned, making it difficult to fully integrate them. This chapter will provide an overview of these issues and propose some broad principles for supporting advancements in cybercrime research

Unpacking the political-criminal nexus in state-cybercrimes: a macro-level typology
Full text linkCriminological literature on crime and deviance in cyberspace has boomed in recent years with most studies focusing on computer integrity crimes, computer content crimes and financial cybercrimes, also discussing the opportunity to consider some of these crimes as profit-driven forms of organised crime. The existing literature, however, has not addressed extensively yet the impact of the emergence and proliferation of cyber affordances on forms of state-organized crime – a conceptualization that since the late ‘80 s proved successful in shedding light, among other things, on the relationships among social structures and criminality. Seeking to address this gap, this conceptual contribution focuses on state-cybercrimes, where illegal, harmful or unjust cyber activities are committed for the benefit of a state or its agencies, offering a macro-typology to shed light on how cyber affordances are influencing and transforming the state-crime relations

Il traffico di specie protette. Prospettive critiche e interdisciplinari
No full textQuello della criminalità ambientale è un argomento che, anche se sta ricevendo attenzione crescente sia a livello accademico che politico, viene ancora nel complesso considerato “di nicchia”. Eppure, le sue devastanti conseguenze sono sempre più evidenti, a partire dal consumo e dallo sfruttamento di sistemi naturali alla base dei delicati equilibri che regolano la salute del nostro pianeta e dei suoi abitanti. Questo libro si pone come un’introduzione a un tipo di criminalità ambientale particolarmente problematica e difficile da affrontare: il traffico di specie protette. Piante e animali selvatici o in via di estinzione sono infatti spesso al centro di lucrativi mercati illegali, frequentemente di natura transnazionale, e sempre più facilitati dalle possibilità offerte dal commercio online. Basato principalmente su un approccio socio-criminologico, inquadrandosi nella tradizione della criminologia ambientale, questo volume si fonda anche su nozioni e studi legali, di ecologia e di informatica, riconoscendo come una trattazione scrupolosa e aggiornata di questi temi non sarebbe forse possibile senza aprirsi al lavoro importante svolto in tema di commercio di specie protette da altre discipline. Per esemplificare concretamente alcune delle sfide, ma anche i vantaggi, della ricerca interdisciplinare in materia di traffico di specie protette, nella sua parte conclusiva il libro presenta i risultati del progetto “FloraGuard: contro il commercio illegale delle piante in via di estinzione”, diretto dall’autrice
