Cybercrime and the Autism Spectrum

How the Online World Creates Victims and Offenders

About this book

Cybercrime and the Autism Spectrum explores the intersection of cybercrime and the autism spectrum, offering a multidimensional perspective from a clinician, an attorney, and a technical forensic expert. With a focus on real-life anonymized cases, discover how the online world impacts autistic individuals as both victim and offender.

This book provides strategies on how to detect and prevent autistic individuals engaging in criminal behavior online, such as communication with minors, child pornography, stalking, and online radicalization. Current research and clinical case studies provide a sympathetic and non-pathologizing insight into recognizing problematic behavior, creating online safety, and treatment for autistic individuals.

This is essential reading for mental health professionals working with neurodiverse individuals and their families, attorneys working with autistic clients, judges, law enforcement officers, those in training, and anyone seeking to understand the challenges and vulnerabilities facing autistic people in the digital age will have renewed compassion for the difficulties they face.
