Cybercrime and Digital Deviance

Cybercrime and Digital Deviance, 2nd Edition, is an academic textbook designed to equip students with theoretical tools for evaluating computer-mediated misconduct and digital harms. The text establishes how virtual environments function as distinct arenas for social interaction, drawing foundational concepts from spatial criminology and urban sociology to explain modern online behaviors.

The core structure applies David Wall's modified typology, categorizing offenses into cybertrespass, cyberfraud, cyberviolence, and cyberpornography. Through these four operational divisions, readers examine specific technical crimes including network hacking, identity theft, and romance scams. The text further investigates non-conforming social acts, analyzing online dynamics surrounding trolling, canceling, and pornography addiction.

This systematic organization offers clear conceptual structure for university coursework. The volume provides a foundational instructional resource for students pursuing degrees in sociology, criminal justice, cybercrime, and cybersecurity, guiding readers to interpret complex online interactions through established academic models.
