CyberJustice goes beyond the mechanics of doing digital forensics to study internet crime from many disciplinary angles and from beginning to end, providing readers with a holistic understanding of cybercrime. From criminology and digital forensics to victimology, corrections, and jurisprudence, CyberJustice explores how actions come to be identified as crime, how cybercrimes are brought to the attention of police, and how these crimes are investigated and prosecuted. Also addressed are issues of the law and jurisdiction and international cooperation and globalization. Post-adjudication, community corrections, and the rehabilitation and reintegration of cyberoffenders round out this textbook.
