ABSTRACT
The material in this chapter focuses on the victims/survivors of cybercrime offending. The reader is meant to understand the various concepts, trends, and theoretical orientations relevant to explanations of who falls prey to cybercrime offenses, as well as the legislation, agencies, and other resources available to those in need of redress from such experiences. In reviewing this chapter's contents, the reader should make note of the distinction between “victim” and “survivor”—the latter gaining popularity in recent years as more befitting the mindset of overcoming such experiences rather than being defined be them. With this chapter, the authors also endeavor to impress upon the reader the great importance of this subject matter considering the historic tendency to focus attention on those who commit such offenses, and consequently overlook those that have cybercrime done to them.
