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.

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)
