I received this book a couple of weeks ago but my schedule was very busy so I just had a chance to review and comment on this new book. The book is a very interesting collection of essays from leading scholars and practitioners in the area focusing on the “newness” of cybercrime prosecution and law enforcement. This site aims to highlight the new ways of committing crime and the new ways that are required to prevent it, combat it, and prosecute it so the book is a good paper source for those readers who like this site.

The book is divided in five major parts - the new crime scene, the new types of crimes, the new cops, the new tools available for prosecution, and the new procedural aspects of cybercrime. Among the topics covered are crimes in virtual words, policy issues of cybercrimes, Internet surveillance, cybercrime conventions and legal issues surrounding digital evidence. The selection of authors is excellent - the presence of authors such as Orin Kerr, Susan Brenner, to name a few, lend a great deal of credibility to the entire collection.

My thought - an excellent selection of relevant materials. The timing of this book’s release cannot be better - legal crime issues in virtual worlds, surveillance of electronic communications, and the procedural and substantive legal issues with cybercrime are something courts and practitioners should be well familiar with.
