Halder qualitatively analyzes the contemporary dimensions of cyber-crime victimization, aiming to fill the gap in the existing literature on this topic. A literature review and case studies allow the author to analyze the current situation of cyber-crime victimization. A profile of victims of cybercrimes has been developed on the basis of different groups of victims and new policy guidelines on the basis of UN documents on cyber-crimes and victim-justice are proposed to prevent such victimization as well as for restitution of justice for cyber-crime victimisation cases. This book shows how the effects of cyber victimization in one sector can affect others. This book also highlights why the perpetrators chose to attack their victim/s in specific ways to create larger harm in unexpected ways. This book is suitable for use as a textbook in cyber victimology courses and will be of interest to policy makers and activists working in this area"-- Provided by publisher.
