This collection of twelve scholarly articles examines the technological, social and public policy aspects of hacking and network security as it relates to business and computer crime. Divided into three sections, the work provides an overview of the nexus between hacking and crime, and proceeds with discussions of policing frameworks, empirical assessments of the hacking "community," macro analysis of corporate and government hacking and public policy and lawmaking for the digital age. Specific topics covered include white collar hacking, movie and music piracy, hacker's autism-spectrum quotient and the social dynamics of technology-driven crime. Contributors include academics and security professionals from around the world. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
