Onlife Criminology

Digital tools such as smart devices, personal trackers, and social media have become part of daily life for many. ‘Onlife’ (online+life) criminology is the study of crime and social harm produced by the blurring lines between digital engagement and our everyday lives that we may not even be aware of.

From AI, security breaches to the proliferation of conspiracy theories, this thought-provoking book analyses the serious threats of surveillance, targeted indoctrination, and abuse of personal data that can potentially affect us all. The book explores alternatives to the current situation and presents practical and more sustainable solutions for internet use.
