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.
