Abstract
The past decade has seen an enormous explosion of scholarship on the subject of cybercrime, as technologies and offenders pose new challenges and law enforcement, government and academic experts struggle to keep up. The new, second edition of Professor Jonathan Clough’s book occupies a fairly substantial, but specific niche in this increasingly diverse and complex landscape. Principles of Cybercrime contains only a cursory review of the history and criminology of cybercrime, it does not deal at all with IT security, investigative or enforcement matters, and discussion of cybercrime as a global issue is limited to brief discussions of the 2001 Budapest Convention and extensions of domestic law jurisdiction. Readers seeking any sort of detailed information in these areas or a comprehensive resource covering the entire field should probably look elsewhere.
