Cybercriminalité

Comprendre, prévenir, réagir

Solange Ghernaouti

Solange Ghernaouti's structured treatment of cybercrime — how it works, how to prevent it, how to respond — spanning technical, legal and organisational angles.

Cybercriminalité

Droit pénal appliqué

Myriam Quéméner, Yves Charpenel

A practitioner's treatment of cybercrime law — offences, procedure, and the application of criminal law to digital crime — by a French magistrate specialised in the field.

Read this if

Students (law, management, engineering), managers and investigators who want a structured, up-to-date overview of cybercrime across technical, legal and human dimensions.
Lawyers, magistrates, compliance teams and investigators who need the legal framework around cybercrime: what's punishable, how procedure works, how the law is applied.

Skip this if

Practitioners wanting forensic or offensive technique; like Ghernaouti's other work, it's a structured survey, not a hands-on manual.
Technical readers wanting attacks or defence; this is a French-law legal text, and parts of any 2010 legal book are superseded by newer legislation.

Key takeaways

  • A 2023 structured survey of cybercrime spanning technique, law and prevention — broad rather than deep.
  • Strong on the legal and organisational response that purely technical books skip.
  • A natural companion to Ghernaouti's Cybersécurité, focused on the criminal dimension.
  • A specialist legal reference on French cybercrime law, by a magistrate who works the field.
  • Covers the offences, procedure and application of criminal law to digital crime.
  • Law evolves: read for the framework and reasoning, but verify specifics against current legislation.
