Understanding Cybercrime Victim Services
This book offers a comprehensive understanding of cybercrime and its relevance to victims. It provides researchers and governmental organizations with a knowledge base surrounding victimology, cybercrime, and cyber law, with a particular analysis of victim services. With this, the book outlines the importance of victim services and whether these tools are beneficial. The authors unpack several examples of cybercrime victim services within Canada, and compares the strengths and weaknesses of these services to other countries. This contextualizes the cybercrime issue and how it has become more prevalent, for example, by considering the impact of national socio-economic status and how this may affect cybercrime vulnerabilities. In addition, the book includes a comprehensive cybercrime victim service package, which outlines cybercrime prevention techniques that can be better implemented into cybercrime policies or employee training. It will appeal to professionals and officials working in government organizations and victim services.
