The second section addresses issues associated with the investigation and prosecution of these crimes. The final section offers insights into the future of studies of high-technology crime, including the emerging field of cybercriminology. Each chapter ends with a series of review questions that highlight the important terminology and concepts discussed. Each chapter also contains reference to related books, articles, or court cases; a list of relevant websites that readers may visit; and a brief spotlight on a news story that addresses how the materials discussed in the chapter are used or encountered in practice.
