More Amazon than Mafia: Analysing a DDoS stresser service as organised cybercrime
The internet mafia trope has shaped our knowledge about organised crime groups online, yet the evidence is largely speculative and the logic often flawed. This paper adds to current knowledge by exploring the development, operation and demise of an online criminal group as a case study. In this article we analyse a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) stresser (also known as booter) which sells its services online to enable offenders to launch at…

Policing cybercrime: Networked and social media technologies and the challenges for policing
Cybercrime is now regarded as a major threat to society, yet common understandings of the change are developing slowly. This book explores the challenges to policing created by the increased professionalism of criminals and (separately) the new forms of deviance brought by social network media.This book was originally published as a speci
Policing identity crimes
Identity-related crimes pose a significant problem to both the UK economy and also its citizens because they cause estimated annual losses of around £1.5billion. Not only do identity crimes cause considerable public concern, but they also create challenges for policing them; not least, because policing responses, in the broader regulatory sense, are often over-reactive or take the form of dramatic Public Relations gestures rather than coherent po…

Peer to Peer and the Music Industry: The Criminalization of Sharing. By M. David (London: Sage, 2010, xiv + 186pp. 23.99 pb, 60.00 hb)
Peer to Peer and the Music Industry takes the reader on an interesting journey along the knife edge of contemporary criminology and deep into the machinations of the intellectual property land grab that is currently taking place in the information age. Matthew David's analysis focuses primarily upon file sharing across peer-to-peer (P2P) networks and usefully informs ongoing debates in music copyright and other related areas of intellectual prope…
Jailhouse Frocks: Locating the Public Interest in Policing Counterfeit Luxury Fashion Goods
Counterfeiting raises some interesting intellectual questions for criminologists, policy makers and brand owners, not least that it differs from the types of offending that traditionally form the crime diet of the criminal justice system. Whilst it is growing in prevalence due to the enormous returns on investment, it is unlikely that the public purse will fund major anti-counterfeiting initiatives in a climate of public sector cut-backs, emphasi…
Cybercrime and the Culture of Fear: Social science fiction(s) and the production of knowledge about cybercrime
This article maps out the conceptual origins of cybercrime in social science fiction and other ‘faction’ genres to explore the relationship between rhetoric and reality in the production of knowledge about it. It goes on to illustrate how the reporting of dystopic narratives about life in networked worlds shapes public reactions to technological change. Reactions which heighten the culture of fear about cybercrime, which in turn, shapes public ex…

Policing Cybercrimes: Situating the Public Police in Networks of Security within Cyberspace
The Internet and the criminal behaviour it transforms (cybercrime) pose considerable challenges for order maintenance and law enforcement because Internet‐related offending takes place within a global context while crime tends to be nationally defined. Policing cybercrime is made all the more complex by the very nature of policing and security being networked and nodal and also because within this framework the public police play only a small par…
Policing diversity in the digital age: Maintaining order in virtual communities
Members of `terrestrial' communities are migrating in ever-increasing numbers to a new `Third Space' that manifests outside traditional geographical physical boundaries. This online space consists of purely social relations where interaction and community are performed at-a-distance. The diversifying populations of these virtual villages, towns and cities now constitute very real communities. Online non-gaming spaces such as Ebay, Active Worlds a…
Technologies, Security, and Privacy in the Post‐9/11 European Information Society
Since 11 September 2001, many ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ security strategies have been introduced to enable more intensive surveillance and control of the movement of `suspect populations'. Suicide bombings have since generated a step‐change in asymmetric threat analysis and public perceptions of risk. This article reviews how post‐9/11 ‘security’ issues intersect with existing and emerging technologies, particularly those relating to identity, location, …
Ceyhan's Identifier et Surveiller, Posner and Vermeule's Terror in the Balance, Henriques' Corporate Truth, Balkin et al.'s Cybercrime
The journal Cultures & Conflicts has become an increasingly important reference for international relations (IR) scholarship. In certain quarters of the Anglophone critical security studies field in particular, there had been a realization that 'Paris' provided as constructive analytical contributions to the analysis of novel security trends and discourses as 'Aberystwyth' or 'Copenhagen' did (for a good review see CASE, 2007). If Cultures & Conf…

Putting freemasonry into perspective: The debate over freemasonry and policing
Exciting, titillating and whistle blowing revelations about the practice of freemasonry regularly feed the public's insatiable lust for conspiracy theories. But, historically speaking, these revelations are a comparatively recent phenomenon when compared to the long‐standing debate over freemasonry and police appointments which is about to celebrate its one hundredth birthday. An analysis of historical and current literature on freemasonry, compl…
The Ideology of Internal Recruitment the Selection of Chief Constables and Changes Within the Tripartite Arrangement
As the Government's recent White Paper and the Sheehy Report look to place greater control over the police in the hands of fewer individuals the current debate over police accountability will heighten. However, discussion is locked within the current paradigm of police management and an explanation is needed of the processes by which the current situation developed in order to establish a full understanding of the nature of these wide-ranging pro…
Criminal Justice in a Divided Society: Northern Ireland Prisons
Many societies are divided on political, ethnic, religious, national, or linguistic lines; criminal justice systems require strategies to manage the consequences of the resulting conflict and political violence. The prison system in Northern Ireland provides a case study of three contrasting methods of managing divided and politically motivated prisoners. "Reactive containment" is a military-style response of suppression combined with negotiation…
The Detention of Suspects in Police Custody
The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) introduced new procedures to place limits on the length of detention before charge and safeguard the rights of suspects while in custody; these were intended to counterbalance increased police powers. This article reviews the evidence from research conducted in a police force in the north of England on the impact of PACE upon the length of time suspects are held in custody and upon the use of two o…

Reporting findings from research on the impact of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE), this paper assesses the effectiveness of rights provided for suspects in police custody which were intended to counterbalance increased police powers. It discusses (1) the involvement in the detention and questioning process of parents, social workers, and legal advisers; (2) the procedures which regulate the detention and questioning of suspects b…
The Television Licence: Prosecution and Poor Households 1
The B.B.C. is facing a fiscal crisis ‐ its revenue will no longer increase without further rises in the licence fee. The government is reluctant to raise the licence fee for political reasons and because of anxiety over its impact on low income households. There is evidence of growing resistance towards paving the licence fee. One of the major reasons suggested for non‐payment is that poor households simply cannot afford to pay the lump sum requi…

Central Appalachia: A Peripheral Region within an Advanced Capitalist Society
In the course of the 1960's, Appalachia was rediscovered as a social problem region. Efforts of mainstream social scientists to explain the stubborn persistence of poverty and underdevelopment in Appalachia can be categorized as two types: the subculture of poverty model, and the regional development model. In response to the inadequacy of these models, and the social policy that followed from them, radical intellectuals and activists developed a…

Appalachia in the Sixties: Decade of Reawakening
In The Southern Appalachian Region: A Survey, published by the University Press of Kentucky in 1962, Rupert Vance suggested a decennial review of the region's progress. No systematic study comparable to that made at the beginning of the decade is available to answer the question of how far Appalachia has come since then, but David S. Walls and John B. Stephenson have assembled a broad range of firsthand reports which together convey the story of …

Models of Poverty and Planned Change: A Framework for Synthesis
Recent discussions of planned social change have organized interventive strategies into models which identify underlying philosophical assumptions, value orientations, and political perspectives. Two papers published in 1965 can be taken as the beginning of this model-building discussion: Richard Walton proposed a dichotomy between attitude change and power strategies, and Roland Warren outlined a continuum from collaborative through campaign to …
