Overview

This book features the empirical work of internationally known scholars, providing an in-depth examination of the overlap between online and offline victimization and offending. The vast expanse of the Internet has provided a limitless playground for offenders to prey on those unaware of their predators, or well as those who are intimately familiar with their offenders. However, the Internet does not isolate offenders into mutually exclusive categories. Instead, it has allowed many offenders to use both offline and online platforms to commit crime. It also opened up more opportunity for violation of victims. This volume features two divisions of the American Society of Criminology, the Division of Victimology and Division of Cybercrime, who have joined forces to sponsor a special issue on the overlap between forms of online and offline victimization and offending. International scholars in this book provide a notable spectrum of different forms of this phenomenon, as well as predictors of these behaviors. The Link between Specific Forms of Online and Offline Victimization will be a key resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of Victimology, Cybercime, Criminology and Criminal Justice. The chapters included in this book were originally published in Victims & Offenders.
