Cyberpredators commit their crimes by employing the Internet and online services-social network platforms, online groups and organizations, smart phone apps, bulletin board systems, online forums, websites, internet relay chat channels-to locate and harm victims of all ages through attacking, exploiting, humiliating, bullying, harassing, threatening, defrauding, and extorting.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCyberpredators and Their Prey\u003c\/strong\u003e describes non-sexual and sexual interpersonal crimes-online romance scam, swatting, trolling, stalking, bullying, harassment, minor sexting, sexual trafficking, child sexual abuse material, sextortion, and image-based sexual abuse offenses. Each chapter contains: crime definition and relevant issues; typical cyberpredator, motives, and methods; typical victims and behaviors that make them targets; current criminal laws for prosecuting cybercrimes and assessment of their applicability and effectiveness as deterrents; the crime's impact on individual victims and society in general; and cybersecurity prevention and intervention strategies. Also covered are the unique challenges that the regulation, investigation, and prosecution of these cybercrimes pose to criminal justice and private security agents worldwide; the need for society to hold companies operating online responsible for their role in cybercrime; and how aspects of the online environment (i.e., anonymity, toxic disinhibition, de-individuation, inculpability) contribute to harmful and abusive interpersonal interaction, particularly when enacted by perpetrators as part of a group attack.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePortrays material through multidisciplinary lens of psychology, criminal justice, law, and security\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides consistent, practical information about online criminals and victims\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCompares online to offline versions of the same crime\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses adequacy of current laws for prosecuting cybercriminals\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConsiders elements of the online environment that foster criminal activity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes social engineering techniques\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConsiders the role of intimate partner violence in cybercrimes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReviews 21\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e century skills needed to educate and protect potential targets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCyberpredators and Their Prey \u003c\/b\u003ewill prove essential reading to those who are studying to become, or are currently, security professionals; law enforcement personnel and investigators; intelligence agents; private investigators; lawyers; compliance officers; social service workers; and other professionals who deal with interpersonal cybercrime through the lens of social science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Lauren R.
