The growth of the Internet presents a series of new challenges to both individuals and society as a whole.\u00a0 Cybercrime refers to an array of diverse, illegal, illicit activities that all share one thing in common \u2013 the environment in which they take place \u2013 \u2018cyberspace.\u2019<\/p>\n
After much consideration the two disciplines that I have decided to examine are Criminology and Psychology.\u00a0 After exploring the underlying principles of both these disciplines, I hope to conclude whether they support each other or conflict with regards to the issue of cybercrime.\u00a0 Similarly, I will also take into account the challenges that cybercrime presents to each discipline, and conclude whether these perspectives offer any solutions to the problem.<\/p>\n
As these are both disciplines I have never studied before I am going to look at reading undergraduate text books and basic introductory books as recommended by my peers. I have decided to start my research on criminology by reading the following books:<\/p>\n
The Oxford Handbook of Criminology<\/strong> <\/strong>by Mike Maguire, Rod Morgan, and Robert Reiner<\/p>\n An Introduction to Criminological Theory<\/strong> by Roger Hopkins Burke.<\/p>\n For the physiology part of my review I am going to be using the books listed below:<\/p>\n Basic Psychology <\/strong>by Henry Gleitman et al.<\/p>\n The Psychology of the Internet<\/strong> by Patricia Wallace<\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Introduction to Psychology: Gateways to Mind and Behaviour<\/strong><\/em> by Dennis Coon and John Mitterer<\/em><\/p>\n I have also come across the following book which I will use to do some background reading on the issue of cybercrime :<\/p>\n Cybercrime and Society<\/strong> by Majid Yar<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The growth of the Internet presents a series of new challenges to both individuals and society as a whole.\u00a0 Cybercrime refers to an array of diverse, illegal, illicit activities that all share one thing in common \u2013 the environment in which they take place \u2013 \u2018cyberspace.\u2019 After much consideration the two disciplines that I have […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":114,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[258,263],"tags":[243,244,644767],"class_list":["post-615","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-criminology-discipline","category-psychology","tag-criminology","tag-cybercrime","tag-psychology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/comp6044\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/615","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/comp6044\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/comp6044\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/comp6044\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/114"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/comp6044\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=615"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/comp6044\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/615\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":618,"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/comp6044\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/615\/revisions\/618"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/comp6044\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=615"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/comp6044\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=615"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.soton.ac.uk\/comp6044\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=615"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
