For example, are cybercriminals the same as traditional offenders, or are there new offender types with distinct characteristics and motives? What foreground and situational characteristics influence the decision-making process of offenders? Which personal and situational characteristics provide an increased or decreased risk of cybercrime victimization? This book brings together leading criminologists from around the world to consider these questions and examine all facets of victimization, offending, offender networks, and policy responses.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"publicatiegegevens-en-verder-l\"><strong>Publication details and further reading<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Leukfeldt, R. &amp; Holt, T.
