We've just released this guide to fighting the growing threat of computer
crime (it should appear in bookstores around the end of August). From
crackers breaking into systems on the Internet, to electronic fraud on
international funds transfer networks, to software viruses and worms, to
corporate espionage on business networks...computer criminals are becoming
ever more technically sophisticated, and it's an increasing challenge to
keep up with their methods.

"Computer Crime: A Crimefighter's Handbook" is a resource for anyone who
needs to know what today's computer crimes look like, how to prevent them,
and how to detect, investigate, and prosecute them if they do occur. It
contains basic computer security information as well as extensive
guidelines for investigators, law enforcement, managers, and computer
system administrators. The book has been reviewed by representatives of
the U.S. Secret Service, the Department of Justice, local police
departments, district attorney's offices, and law enforcement abroad.

The book describes the varieties of computer crimes and profiles the
computer criminal, using techniques developed for the FBI and other law
enforcement agencies. It outlines the vulnerabilities of computer systems
and discusses personnel, operational, physical, and communications
measures that can be taken to prevent computer crimes.

"Computer Crime" includes a compendium of the computer-related U.S. federal
statutes, the statutes of the individual states, and representative
international laws, as well as a resource summary and detailed papers on
computer crime.
