Virtually Criminal: Crime, Deviance and Regulation Online

Amidst the sensationalist claims about the dangers of the Internet, Virtually Criminal provides an empirically grounded criminological analysis of deviance and regulation within an online community. It integrates theory and empiricism to forge an explanation of cybercrime whilst offering new insights into online regulation.  One of the first studies to further our understanding of the causes of cyber deviance, crime and its control, this groundbreaking study from Matthew Williams takes the Internet as a site of social and cultural (re)production, and acknowledges the importance of online social/cultural formations in the genesis and regulation of cyber deviance and crime.   A blend of criminological, sociological and linguistic theory, this book provides a unique understanding of the aetiology of cybercrime and deviance. Focus group and offence data are analyzed and an interrelationship between online community, deviance and regulation is established.   The subject matter of the book is inherently transnational. It makes extensive use of a number of international case studies, ensuring it is relevant to readers in multiple countries (especially the US, the UK and Australasia). Pioneering and innovative, this fascinating book will be of interest to students and researchers across the disciplines of sociology, criminology, law and media and communication studies.

Superior Dilemma (A Lake Superior Mystery)

Earl Parsons is a champion musher with a notorious past; he left Apostle Bay as a pariah, and his return for a sled dog race opens both old and new wounds in the community. Ex FBI agent Steve Olsen is obsessed by the one case he couldn't close, spending his retirement stalking the prime suspect and seeking redemption. Gina Holt's daughter disappeared fourteen years ago and is presumed dead. Friends can't understand why she's bent on helping the man who was responsible a second time. And someone is booby-trapping community trails, endangering tourists and snowmobilers. Only a vigilante group that police loathe may have the manpower to prevent the next attack. Reporter Vince Marshall is possibly the only one who can solve all these dilemmas, yet he's more concerned about his wife's mysterious illness than solving riddles of Apostle Bay's past. A Lake Superior winter brings with it some snow and a good dose of mayhem to this Vince Marshall thriller.

Mystery

Thomas & Mercer

Small-town reporter Vince Marshall faces looming deadlines, an over-the-edge boss, a wife he suspects is cheating, and the challenge of balancing his career while raising a toddler. The last thing he needs is for his mother to become the suspect in a mysterious woman's death—a story he's covering for the local newspaper.
Vince searches for answers and runs up against the town's irascible police chief, an untouchable influential family, and a rogue detective—who are all trying to kill the story for their own reasons. Even more mystifying is his usually opinionated mother's infuriating silence. The harder he tries to uncover the truth, the more he realizes just how deep the levels of secrecy in this small Lake Superior town really go. With each exposed lie, Vince risks losing everything: his family, friends, and reputation.
As Apostle Bay—which is already divided by contentious union negotiations and teenage drug use—struggles to survive the scandal, Vince must decide just how far he's willing to delve into a world of deception, deceit, and self-discovery.
