A monograph analyses how information technology has transformed four antagonistically interrelated phenomena: surveillance and privacy, and offending and criminal justice response to it. It presents the “new” technically enhanced surveillance (Chapter 1), the regulation of privacy in the workplace (Chapter 2), hacking as a form of rebellion (Chapter 3), the “Nigerian letter fraud”, also called “Fraud 419” (Chapter 4), digital evidence in criminal procedure (Chapter 5) and mobile phones forensics and the role of forensic experts for computer forensics in criminal trials (Chapter 6).

Communication and biotechnological revolution is changing the images of “criminal subject”. The book tackles these transformations through an analysis of new types of cybercrime and hate crime. It shows how new knowledge is entering into a contingent figure of the “criminal subject” that is increasingly understood only according to biological features. The “forgotten” phrenological studies of the cranium are substituted with more sophisticated gene and brain scanning techniques. The book applies these transformations to a postmodern subject formation process and “law and order” crime policy.

The very concept of cybercrime is still a very vague notion. Article shows different forms of what we call “cybercrime” and the variety of assessment of its dangerousness. It defines novelties in the notion of cybercrime and more or less accepted legal definitions and taxonomies. It shows how the ultimate violence is not cybercrime but the violence for primacy over cyberspace: a struggle between contra-cultural values and the values of post-modern digital capitalism.

We are faced today with a struggle for control over the internet – a struggle for governance over the internet infrastructure – and a struggle for control on the internet. The paper presents the struggle for control over the internet on the example of the distribution of IP addresses and domain names. It shows a regime of internet self-governance and other regimes that finally evolved into multi-stakeholderism governance, embodied by the IGF. The struggle for control on the internet is illustrated by an analysis of the mandatory traffic data retention and internet filtering.

The reaction to cybercrime forms a part of a larger cultural trend and shifts in crime policy heading towards an increased criminalisation of on-line activities. Responses by criminal justice systems to cybersecurity threats show how the solutions of problems can become problems on their own. This thesis is explained by presenting the scale of the cybercrime “problem” and the reaction to the “problem” as exemplified by the data retention regulation, cybercrime policing, substantive criminal law solutions and challenges of criminal procedure.
