FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Hershey, PA—February 25, 2020— With continual headlines around Jeffrey Epstein, data breaches, and predators using popular video games including Fortnite and Minecraft to exploit children, countries all over the world are seeing substantial increases in identity theft, cyberattacks, and illicit transactions (i.e. drug trafficking, human trafficking, child abuse, etc.) being made through the dark web and technological means. In response to these growing threats, IGI Global officially released the highly anticipated publication Criminal Activities and the Deep Web, a three-volume publication edited by Mehdi Khosrow-Pour, D.B.A., from Information Resources Management Association, USA.
“Criminal activity and the world wide web are no longer a peripheral research topic. Instead, this is a very fast-growing research area which requires a tremendous amount of participation and collaboration by researchers from all over the world,” stated Dr. Khosrow-Pour. “Criminal Activities and the Deep Web will aid in efforts to better understand and deal with the ever-growing societal problems and challenges that such devious activities present to individuals and organizations all over the world.”
This title includes 79 previously unpublished articles of multidisciplinary research and expert insights from all over the world and provides the most diverse findings and new methods for identifying and preventing cyber espionage, hate crimes, child exploitation, sex trafficking, and more. As such, it will serve as an invaluable addition for academic and corporate libraries as well as a critical resource for policymakers, law enforcement, forensic scientists, criminologists, sociologists, victim advocates, cybersecurity analysts, lawmakers, government officials, industry professionals, academicians, researchers, and students.
This book will offer strategies for the prediction and prevention of online criminal activity and examine methods for safeguarding internet users and their data from being tracked or stalked. Additionally, it covers hard-hitting societal issues concerning criminal activities and the deep web, including:
- Child pornography made up more than 50% of the content shared through Freenet on the Dark Web.1
- Over 21% of women aged 18-29 reported being sexually harassed online.2
- 65% of the listings on Silk Road, an online black market, were related to the illicit drug trade.3
- In a poll, 79% of participating organizations increased their IT security spending, with very little impact.4
