This chapter sets out why we should think about criminological risks as stemming from the configuration of technology, economic and social organisation, and cultural identity. ‘Cyber’ implies a set of rules and spaces separate from the real. A digital perspective shows how embedded the internet infrastructure is with day-to-day life and other systems. This means that costs and risks of crime are distributed more widely throughout society. Work is increasingly distributed through digital platforms designed for the purpose or repurposed from other platforms. This creates opportunities for new forms of work and reward, and risks of exploitation and misuse.
