Abstract:The majority of property crimes are now cybercrimes—including identity theft, credit card fraud, and vari_ous kinds of cyber attacks—and they are on the rise. This development raises serious political questions. What are our digital rights, and how are they upheld? When we’re online, who’s in charge of protecting us? How are our institutions addressing the social transition to the internet?
