Cybercrime in Australia: 20 years of in-action

Cybercrime in Australia: 20 years of in-action provides an engaging analysis of how Australia’s law enforcement and justice system have responded to the exponential rise of cybercrime. As technology has evolved and the criminal misuse thereof continues to increase, successive governments have attempted to provide more powers to law enforcement agencies and regulate how individuals live in the online environment. But as the mainstream media reporting and statistics tell us, this has been a failure. More and more organisations and individuals are falling prey to cybercrime. Utilising investigative case studies, an array of statistics, surveys of police, consultants, lawyers and privacy experts, this book analyses two decades worth of cyber and cyber-related legislation combined with policy and operational responses by law enforcement agencies to combat online crime. The book is packed with fascinating and unexpected findings. It also offers hope by providing a set of recommendations to be considered both in an Australian and an overseas context. —- ISBN: 9798751515478 | ISBN10: B09M5LB39T | ISBN-13: 979-8751515478
