The New Technology of Financial Crime

This edited collection surveys technology-enabled financial crime, victimization, prevention, and control. Its chapters cover business cybersecurity, phishing, online fraud in China, Bitcoin and ransomware, fraud against older adults, organized and identity crime, and other digital threats. Romance fraud is one component rather than the book's sole subject, represented most directly by a chapter on the use of military profiles in romance-fraud schemes. The publisher describes the volume as a resource for criminology, sociology, law, and information-technology audiences and as a source of prevention and control strategies. It should be used for broader financial-crime context, not presented as a dedicated empirical study of romance scams.
