Policing Cyberspace: Law Enforcement and Forensics in the Digital Age gives readers a contextualized, real-world understanding of cybercrime issues related to policing and forensics. It conveys the rapidly changing nature of cyber- and computer-based crimes and places them in a legal framework that is often slow to react to these changes. The first section of the text introduces readers to cyber-based crimes and policing. Over the subsequent three sections students learn about digital evidence and forensics, the myths and realities of law enforcement investigations in cyberspace, and cyber forensics and the law. Specific topics include the relationship between connectivity and crime, text-messaging forensics, search and seizure in cyberspace, freedom, privacy, and government surveillance, and DNA database usage. Policing Cyberspace shows students that it isn't necessary to be an information technology specialist in order to study crime-related phenomena within the domain of cyberspace. The book is ideal for introductory digital forensics or forensic science classes. It can also be used in classes on law enforcement or policing and technology.

"Nhan studies the policing of cybercrime in California. First-hand data is drawn from front-line "cybercops" (California's network of high-tech crimes task forces), the MPAA and motion picture studios, and high-tech companies, to explore structural, cultural, and various criminal justice issues in policing cyberspace. This research applies a nodal governance theoretical framework to map and assess social networks using the different actors involved in fighting cybercrime. Initial findings suggest collaborative security efforts are marred by inter-organizational frictions. Moreover, this security alliance must deal with digital media pirates, hostile hackers, and an unsympathetic public."--Back cover.

Cyberspace is changing the face of crime. For criminals it has become a place for rich collaboration and learning, not just within one country; and a place where new kinds of crimes can be carried out, and a vehicle for committing conventional crimes with unprecedented range, scale, and speed. Law enforcement faces a challenge in keeping up and dealing with this new environment. The news is not all bad – collecting and analyzing data about criminals and their activities can provide new levels of insight into what they are doing and how they are doing it. However, using data analytics requires a change of process and new skills that (so far) many law enforcement organizations have had difficulty leveraging. Cyberspace, Data Analytics, and Policing surveys the changes that cyberspace has brought to criminality and to policing with enough technical content to expose the issues and suggest ways in which law enforcement organizations can adapt. Key Features: Provides a non-technical but robust overview of how cyberspace enables new kinds of crime and changes existing crimes. Describes how criminals exploit the ability to communicate globally to learn, form groups, and acquire cybertools. Describes how law enforcement can use the ability to collect data and apply analytics to better protect society and to discover and prosecute criminals. Provides examples from open-source data of how hot spot and intelligence-led policing can benefit law enforcement. Describes how law enforcement can exploit the ability to communicate globally to collaborate in dealing with trans-national crime.

There's a common belief that cyberspace cannot be regulated-that it is, in its very essence, immune from the government's (or anyone else's) control.Code argues that this belief is wrong. It is not in the nature of cyberspace to be unregulable; cyberspace has no "nature." It only has code-the software and hardware that make cyberspace what it is. That code can create a place of freedom-as the original architecture of the Net did-or a place of exquisitely oppressive control.If we miss this point, then we will miss how cyberspace is changing. Under the influence of commerce, cyberpsace is becoming a highly regulable space, where our behavior is much more tightly controlled than in real space.But that's not inevitable either. We can-we must-choose what kind of cyberspace we want and what freedoms we will guarantee. These choices are all about architecture: about what kind of code will govern cyberspace, and who will control it. In this realm, code is the most significant form of law, and it is up to lawyers, policymakers, and especially citizens to decide what values that code embodies.

The lack of control mechanisms has contributed to the proliferation of Internet-enabled crimes. This study examines the policing of cybercrime in California by four security actors: law enforcement, private industry, state government, and the general public. Their relations to each other are functionally mapped and deconstructed using a nodal governance framework. Data are derived from interviews, observations, and published works. Structural, political, economic, and cultural variables that affect the level of cooperation and conflict between actors are identified and examined. Initial findings suggest the nature of relationships and the degree to which desired outcomes are aligned between actors can affect the ability to form sustained security alliances. These relationships can have an impact on control system's capacity. Finally, this study suggests that non-law enforcement online actors play an important role in policing the Internet but requires the general public to "buy-in" as security stakeholders for more effective and long term cyber security.

The Internet has dramatically altered the landscape of crime and national security, creating new threats, such as identity theft, computer viruses, and cyberattacks. Moreover, because cybercrimes are often not limited to a single site or nation, crime scenes themselves have changed. Consequently, law enforcement must confront these new dangers and embrace novel methods of prevention, as well as produce new tools for digital surveillance—which can jeopardize privacy and civil liberties. Cybercrime brings together leading experts in law, criminal justice, and security studies to describe crime prevention and security protection in the electronic age. Ranging from new government requirements that facilitate spying to new methods of digital proof, the book is essential to understand how criminal law—and even crime itself—have been transformed in our networked world.

The author examines the controversies surrounding cyber-harassment, arguing that it should be considered a matter for civil rights law and that social norms of decency and civility must be leveraged to stop it. --Publisher information.
