The online environment has emerged as a continuous and unfettered source of interpersonal criminal activity beyond physical boundaries.

Cyberpredators commit their cs by employing the Internet and online services—social network platforms, online groups and organizations, smart phone apps, bulletin board systems, online forums, websites, internet relay chat channels—to locate and harm victims of all ages through attacking, exploiting, humiliating, bullying, harassing, threatening, defrauding, and exhorting.

Cyberpredators and Their Prey describes non-sexual and sexual interpersonal cs—online romance scam, swatting, trolling, stalking, bullying, harassment, minor sexting, sexual trafficking, child sexual abuse material, sextortion, and image-based sexual abuse offenses. Each chapter contains: c definition and relevant issues; typical cyberpredator, motives, and methods; typical victims and behaviors that make them targets; current criminal laws for prosecuting cybercs and assessment of their applicability and effectiveness as deterrents; the c's impact on individual victims and society in general; and cybersecurity prevention and intervention strats. Also covered are the unique challenges that the regulation, investigation, and prosecution of these cybercs pose to criminal justice and private security agents worldwide; the need for society to hold companies operating online responsible for their role in cyberc; and how aspects of the online environment (i.e., anonymity, toxic disinhibition, de-individuation, inculpability) contribute to harmful and abusive interpersonal interaction, particularly when enacted by perpetrators as part of a group attack.
