University of Minnesota Press Deconstruction Machines: Writing in the Age of
Book SynopsisA bold new theory of cyberwar argues that militarized hacking is best understood as a form of deconstruction From shadowy attempts to steal state secrets to the explosive destruction of Iranian centrifuges, cyberwar has been a vital part of statecraft for nearly thirty years. But although computer-based warfare has been with us for decades, it has changed dramatically since its emergence in the 1990s, and the pace of change is accelerating.In Deconstruction Machines, Justin Joque inquires into the fundamental nature of cyberwar through a detailed investigation of what happens at the crisis points when cybersecurity systems break down and reveal their internal contradictions. He concludes that cyberwar is best envisioned as a series of networks whose constantly shifting connections shape its very possibilities. He ultimately envisions cyberwar as a form of writing, advancing the innovative thesis that cyber attacks should be seen as a militarized form of deconstruction in which computer programs are systems that operate within the broader world of texts. Throughout, Joque addresses hot-button subjects such as technological social control and cyber-resistance entities like Anonymous and Wikileaks while also providing a rich, detailed history of cyberwar. Deconstruction Machines provides a necessary new interpretation of deconstruction and timely analysis of media, war, and technology.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Against Cybercrime
Book SynopsisThis book advances a theoretically informed realist criminology of computer crime. Looking beyond current strategies of online crime control, this book argues for a new sort of policy that addresses the root causes of computer crime and criminality, reduces the harms experienced by the victims of such crimes, and does not unduly contribute to state and corporate power and surveillance.Drawing both on the proponents of realist criminology and on those who have leveled critiques of the approach, Steinmetz illustrates the contours of a realist criminology of computer crime by considering definitions of harm with online crime, the idiosyncrasies of online locality and community, the social relations of computer crime, the tension between piecemeal reform and structural changes, and other matters. Furthermore, Steinmetz surveys the methodological dimensions of computer crime research, offers a critique of positivist computational criminology, and posits an agenda for computer crimTrade Review'Steinmetz performs two impressive feats here – revitalizing realist criminology through an incisive engagement with pragmatism, and then mobilizing it to develop a digital criminology that is both realistic about online harms and critical about the workings of power. The result? A major advance in our understanding of crime and technology.'Majid Yar, Professor Emeritus of Criminology, Lancaster University 'Intellectually generous and seductively synthetic, Steinmetz’s Against Cybercrime dares to imagine a new criminology of online worlds. Rejecting rigidity and abstraction, he offers instead a powerful mix of realist criminology, cultural criminology, and pragmatism designed to situate the particulars of digital crime within larger contemporary forces.'Jeff Ferrell, Author of Drift: Illicit Mobility and Uncertain Knowledge.'Against Cybercrime is well-thought-out, provocatively written, and provides a timely and exciting contribution to an under-theorized area in criminology. Steinmetz’s "realist criminology of computer crimes" implores us to address the root causes of crime through harm-reduction strategies that avoid increasing state power and surveillance. This is an important book - a must-read for academics and policymakers, alike.' Jayne Mooney, Professor of Sociology, John Jay College of Criminal Justice and the Graduate Center, CUNY'Against Cybercrime engages readers in a frank, compelling, and accessible conversation about the need to take computer crimes seriously while taking privacy, freedom, and related matters seriously. Readers will walk away with a greater understanding of the challenges associated with computer crime and demand more concrete solutions, as Steinmetz proposes, than what other cybercriminology perspectives currently provide.'Jordana Navarro, Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice, The CitadelTable of ContentsAcknowledgmentsIntroductionPART I: FoundationsRealist Criminology: An OverviewEschewing Critical RealismEmbracing PragmatismPART II: A Realist Criminology of Computer CrimeToward a Realist Criminology of Computer CrimeThe Mundanity of Computational CriminologyRealist Criminological Methods What Is to be Done about Computer Crime?Where Do We Go from Here?Index

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Dark Mafia
Book SynopsisThis book explores how organized crime has adapted and evolved in sync with ever-expanding technologies to update its popular image and to conduct its covert operations. It shows how organized crime operates in dark virtual spaces and how it can now form a dynamic interactive system with legitimate online spaces, solidifying its criminal exploits and resources, and making them attractive to a new generation of computer users. Focusing on Italian Mafias, Russian and Georgian criminal groups and drug cartels, and Asian crime syndicates such as Yakuza and Triads, this book aims to describe and explain the reasons behind the continuity of online and offline crime, taking into consideration whether or not internet culture has radically changed the way we perceive organized crime and if so how, and thus how the shift in popular imagery that the internet has brought about affects its actual illegal activities. We also consider how organized crime has shifted its locale from the physical to the virtual, how cybercrime has allowed criminal organizations to adapt and reinvent themselves, and how the police now use technology against organized crime.To better understand the new generation of criminals, it is becoming increasingly urgent to understand the latest technologies and how criminals utilize them. The Dark Mafia is an engaging and accessible introduction to understanding virtual organized crime. It will appeal to students and scholars of criminology, sociology, policing, and all those interested in the digital age of organized crime.Trade Review"Nicaso and Danesi provide an excellent, empirically rich insight into the complexities of organized crime groups in the digital field. Their book is a refreshing and engaging addition to both cybercrime and organized crime literature."Anita Lavorgna, Associate Professor, University of BolognaTable of ContentsIntroduction 1.The Mafia in Cyberspace 2.Hybrid Criminality 3.
