Here is the full CfP:

Research of the Internet as a site for communication and networking has 
focused mostly on legal practices. Recent years have nevertheless seen a 
significant increase in cybercrime, including illegal commerce being 
conducted on various platforms. In the public eye, much of it is 
associated with the non-indexed Dark Web, but research tells us that it 
is likewise present on many clear web sites and being conducted via 
numerous social media and instant messaging services.

Rarely a day goes by without cybercrime being reported in the media. 
Examples include online trading in narcotics and other illicit goods and 
services, the hijacking of individual accounts and organizational 
systems, extortion, exit scams, fake investments in cryptocurrencies and 
even blatant information manipulation for financial gain.

This minitrack aim is to give insights and develop a theoretical and 
practical understanding of issues related to cybercrime without 
excluding any methodological approaches. We welcome conceptual, 
theoretical, empirical and methodological papers that enrich our 
understanding of illegal online practices.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Cybertrespass (e.g., unauthorized system access)
Cyberdeception and cybertheft (e.g., online fraud, identity theft)
Exploitation imagery (e.g., child sexual exploitation materials)
Cyberviolence (e.g., cyberstalking, cyberbullying)
Cyberterrorism (e.g., different intrusions, building extremist networks)
