Cyberpredators and Their Prey

The online environment has emerged as a continuous and unfettered source of interpersonal criminal activity beyond physical boundaries. Cyberpredators commit their crimes 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 extorting. Cyberpredators and Their Prey describes non-sexual and sexual interpersonal crimes—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: crime definition and relevant issues; typical cyberpredator motives and methods; typical victims and behaviors that make them targets; current criminal laws for prosecuting cybercrimes and assessment of their applicability and effectiveness as deterrents; the crime’s impact on individual victims and society in general; and cybersecurity prevention and intervention strategies. Also covered are the unique challenges that the regulation investigation and prosecution of these cybercrimes pose to criminal justice and private security agents worldwide; the need for society to hold companies operating online responsible for their role in cybercrime; 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.

Seismic Design Aids for Nonlinear Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Structures

Seismic Design Aids for Nonlinear Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Structures

Nonlinear analysis methods such as static pushover or limit analysis until collapse are globally considered reliable tools for seismic and structural assessment. But the accuracy of seismic capacity estimates—which can prevent catastrophic loss of life and astronomical damage repair costs—depends on the use of the correct basic input parameters. Tools to Safeguard New Buildings and Assess Existing OnesSeismic Design Aids for Nonlinear Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Structures simplifies the estimation of base structural parameters and enables accurate evaluation of proper bounds for the safety factor. Many design engineers make the relatively common mistake of using default properties of materials as input to nonlinear analyses without realizing that any minor variation in the nonlinear characteristics of constitutive materials such as concrete and steel could result in a solution error that leads to a disastrously incorrect assessment or interpretation. To achieve a more accurate pushover analysis and improve general performance-based design this book: Reviews relevant literature to help engineers conduct structural seismic assessment Includes design curves alleviating the need for complex mathematicsOffers supplementary online tools to aid in computing any parameterProvides complete computer coding used to obtain building collapse multipliersReassessing key inputs this book analyzes boundaries using a detailed mathematical model based on international codes. It proposes design curves and tables derived from the authors’ studies detailing modeling numerical procedures step by step.
