Introduction
There are limited texts on cyber ethics and very little on cyber law
that focus on both of these areas exclusively; this book’s intent is
to combine both of these research domains and their impact on society
and information technologies. The book will allow contributors the
unique opportunity to publish on current research in these areas that
involve ethical implications and legal practices regarding information
technologies. Chapters in this book can be used for teaching cases,
research, to give theoretical background and also to discuss changing
and growing trends that are important to the future of these fields.

Objective of the Book
The primary contributions of this book are to: 1. Increase awareness
of the ethical and legal practices used in computing technologies; 2.
Increase computing students’ and professionals’ effectiveness in
applying ethical values and legal statues involving computing
technologies; and, 3. Provide new studies and research on the impacts
of ethical and legal discussions on real-world applications in
information technology. It is the intention of this book to be an
inclusive and eclectic work on the topic of ethics and law as it
pertains to information technologies.

Target Audience
The target audience of this book will be composed of professionals and
researchers working in the field of computing, law, ethics, and
management in various disciplines, (e.g., library, information and
communication sciences, administrative sciences). Moreover, the book
will provide insights and support educators and executives concerned
with the growing trends and current research in the combined areas of
ethics and law and the impacts of these areas on information
technologies.
