Description

Crime Online: Correlates, Causes, and Context 5th Edition Thomas J. Holt ISBN 9781531031909

As digital technology reshapes daily life across the globe, understanding how computer-mediated environments influence human behavior—and blur the boundaries between online and offline worlds—has become essential. Crime Online draws on original reviews and empirical data to deliver in-depth criminological analyses of a wide range of cybercrimes, including fraud, hacking, and technology-facilitated sexual offenses. The text also offers a thorough examination of cyberterrorism and online activism, along with detailed discussion of law enforcement and policy responses to cybercrime at the local, state, and federal levels. With its applied policy focus, the book is a valuable resource for academics, law enforcement professionals, legal practitioners, and undergraduate and graduate students.

The fifth edition significantly expands the scope of the work with four new chapters that address emerging challenges at the intersection of technology and crime. These additions explore public perceptions of cybercrime, the growing array of online offenses targeting children, the ways dating apps may alter risks of interpersonal crime both online and offline, and the structural and practical limits of police responses to cybercrime. Together, these updates strengthen the book’s relevance and make the fifth edition an indispensable resource for scholars and students of cybercrime.
