  Economic cybercrime is one of the unwelcomed consequences of unprecedented intrusion of
  the Internet in our daily lives. Academic interest in understanding the causes and adverse
  impacts of cybercrime is growing. Opportunity perspective, which perceives individuals' daily
  routines and lifestyles as the primary facilitator of victimization, has been widely applied as a
  theoretical and conceptual framework in cybercrime victimization research. However, this
  approach put the responsibility of the victimization on victims explicitly, which hampers the
  application of crime prevention and reduction efforts. This book presents the Contextual
  Vulnerabilities approach based on the significant findings of a doctoral study conducted at
  Durham University in the United Kingdom. Contextual vulnerabilities approach posits that
  cybercrime victimization is the outcome of the confluence of contextual factors that are
  mostly beyond victims' control. This approach presumes that controlling individual (micro-
  level), macro-level and socio-cultural vulnerabilities may prevent cybercrime victimization.
  Though the preliminary goal of this book is to provide a new theoretical perspective to
  scholars researching victimization in cyberspace, I hope the wider audience would find it
  informative.
