Cyber Criminals on Trial

As computer-related crime becomes more important globally, both scholarly and journalistic accounts tend to focus on the ways in which the crime has been committed and how it could have been prevented. Very little has been written about what follows: the capture, possible extradition, prosecution, sentencing and incarceration of the cyber criminal. <BR>This book provides the first international study of the manner in which cyber criminals have been dealt with by the judicial process. Some of the most prominent cases from around the world have been presented in an attempt to discern trends in the handling of cases, and common factors and problems that emerged during the processes of prosecution, trial and sentencing. <BR>This is a valuable resource for all those who seek to understand how the difficult task of convicting cyber criminals can be achieved in a borderless world.
