'
Professor Chang s very thoughtful and impressively researched study of cybercrime in the greater China region is an invaluable contribution to the information and analyses available in this area. It not only provides important, and heretofore unavailable data, about the incidence and nature of cybercrime in this region, it also offers insightful suggestions into how this problem can most effectively be controlled. It belongs in the library of anyone interested in this area.'

'East Asia is a heartland of the variegated scams of the cybercrime problem. Yao Chung Chang's book is an innovative application of routine activity theory and regulatory theory to cybercrime prevention across the cybergulf between China and Taiwan. The long march through the scams and across the Taiwan Strait is fascinating. Chang leads us to ponder a wiki cybercrime prevention strategy that might work in such treacherous waters.'
- John Braithwaite, Australian National University
'Very rarely do you read books that impress these days, but for me Cybercrime in the Greater China Region was one of them. Dr Chang is one of a number of young and exciting international academics who are exploring previously unchartered territory in their quest for new understandings about cybercrime. In his book, Dr Chang manages to locate a global policing problem within the sometimes tense political and cultural constraints of regional policing. For me, Professor Grabosky neatly sums up the strengths of the book in his foreword, I can only endorse them.

'Lennon's research is an important contribution to the current limited understanding of the cybercrimes and related laws/regulations and incident reporting issues across the straits between the two major economies in the Asia region. A well researched book, and highly informative with practical suggestions for enhancing visibility and cooperation to improve the overall state of cybersecurity in the region, especially between the two economies.

Cybercrime is a worldwide problem of rapidly increasing magnitude and, of the countries in the Asia Pacific region, Taiwan and China are suffering most. This timely book discusses the extent and nature of cybercrime in and between Taiwan and China, focussing especially on the prevalence of botnets (collections of computers that have been compromised and used for malicious purposes).
The book uses routine activity theory to analyse Chinese and Taiwanese legal responses to cybercrime, and reviews mutual assistance between the two countries as well as discussing third party cooperation. To prevent the spread of cybercrime, the book argues the case for a 'wiki' approach to cybercrime and a feasible pre-warning system. Learning from lessons in infectious disease prevention and from aviation safety reporting, Cybercrime in the Greater China Region proposes a feasible information security incident reporting and response system.
Academics, government agency workers, policymakers and those in the information security or legal compliance divisions in public and private sectors will find much to interest them in this timely study.

Free Cybercrime in the Greater China Region: Regulatory Responses and Crime Prevention Across the Taiwan Strait
PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS CONCERNING CYBERCRIME BETWEEN CHINA AND TAIWAN
An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
The greater China region includes the People's
Republic of China and Taiwan. This is East Asia and as one commentator has put it, it's `the heartland of the variegated scams of the cybercrime problem'.
This really quite exciting book from Edward Elgar plies its way through vast areas of uncharted waters in the international fight against cybercrime. It's a work of original research which will go some way to establishing a common understanding internationally, of how to combat what has become a global problem calling for a global solution and thus requiring a greater degree of cross-border cooperation between nation states.
In the case of China and Taiwan we have two different nation states with different and opposing political systems and a history of mutual suspicion and hostility. So it's encouraging that at least some form of cross-border cooperation has evolved between the two countries, as both of them find themselves battling against a common problem
The author Lennon Yao-Chung Chang, who hails for the City University of Hong Kong, has won plaudits from fellow academics and cyber experts around the world for what is regarded as pioneering work. An American academic notes that the book provides important and heretofore unavailable data regarding cybercrime in this area and offers suggestions as to how the problem can be handled and controlled.
