What Reviewers Are Saying
NOW IN A NEW SECOND EDITION:
‘A PRACTITIONER’S REFERENCE GUIDE REGARDING CYBER CRIME... AND THE ISSUES WHICH MAY ARISE BEFORE THE COURTS OF ENGLAND AND WALES.’
An appreciation by Elizabeth Robson Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers and Phillip Taylor MBE, Head of Chambers, Reviews Editor, “The Barrister”, and Mediator
How amazing is information technology in its many manifestations? What was once referred to as the ‘worldwide web’ has now become virtually a world unto itself, offering almost limitless possibilities for human endeavour, including crime.
Published by Wildy, Simmonds and Hill, this now highly regarded legal text on cyber-crime has now appeared in a much needed second edition. It does much to address the core problem presented by the Internet, namely that it is largely unregulated and therefore provides a vast and tempting arena of opportunities for criminals.
The author, Matthew Richardson, who heads a team of six expert contributors, has provided a carefully researched, detailed and accessible overview of computer-specific crime, as well as conventional crime carried out primarily by means of computer technology.
The book, says the author, is not intended as an academic treatise. Rather, it’s ‘a practitioner’s reference guide regarding cyber-crime... and the issues which may arise before the Courts of England and Wales.’ The issues discussed in this book — and there are many— refer to relevant cases, especially those focussing on jurisdictional issues given the global reach of the Internet.
Among the offences detailed in the text are data protection, property, communications issues, internet content, cyber harassment, stalking and computer misuse. ‘Hacking,’ one of the most common examples of computer misuse, involves intrusion into other people’s systems and accounts and is actionable under the Computer Misuse Act 1990.
There is also coverage of contempt of court... the internet and court reporting... and a final chapter on criminal evidence and computer technology. What the author terms ‘the criminalisation of nosey-parkering’ has been carrying on apace for quite some time. In the here and now, however — and within a constantly changing cyber landscape —the book usefully offers advice on several cyber-related areas, particularly social media.
Of special interest to prosecutors (and this is only one example) is the material in the book’s Appendix 2 ‘New Social Media Guidelines CPS’. Part B outlines a range of social media offences, most of which are frighteningly topical, including the VAWG strategy, referring to violence against women and girls (VAWG).
It is also pointed out that men and boys are also victims of this category of crime as recognized by the CPS. Financial crime of course, takes up a large part of this excellent text, which also functions as a ready reference to tables of cases statutes, statutory instruments, conventions and other material.
As the growth of cyber-crime mirrors the growth of cyber use, especially in the financial sector, this is a work of reference, that no lawyer — especially in England and Wales — can do without.
The date of publication of this hardback book is 29th November 2019.
