The new book from Dr. Cristos Velasco entitled: “Jurisdiction over Crimes Committed through Computer Systems 
and the Internet” [ISBN: 978-84-9004-982-2] has been published by the prestigious Spanish publisher Tirant lo Blanch.
The first edition of this book contains a total of 414 pages and it covers one of the major contemporary legal challenges that arises from the investigation, pursuit and execution of offenses committed through the use of computer systems and the Internet. This book makes a comparative analysis of international treaties and legal instruments on jurisdiction applicable to cybercrime, in particular under the Convention on Cybercrime of the Council of Europe, and the form in which 10 countries -including 6 countries of Latin America (Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and Dominican Republic)- have adopted the principles of international jurisdiction in their respective national legislation. Although, this book explores in detail and compares the existing legal frameworks on cybercrime in some countries in Europe, North America and Latin America, it is not intended to analyze theories, doctrines and existing types of computer crimes, as there is currently plenty of literature available on this topic. However, there was no legal book that analyzes the issue of international jurisdiction and criminal jurisdiction over crimes committed against and through the use computer systems and Internet from a comparative perspective and with a pragmatic approach, in particular with respect to countries in Latin America.
One of the specific value added of this book is that it is the result of having actively participated as a invited expert in various seminars and specialized conferences on cybercrime organized by international fora, as well as a moderator and speaker in workshops, which were in charge of analyzing aspects of international and criminal jurisdiction applicable to crimes and offenses committed against and through the use of computer systems and Internet.
This book is structured in two parts: the first part consists of three chapters and the second part of two chapters. It concludes with a section of personal opinions and conclusions that I am sure will be very relevant for officials and employees at international organizations and regional fora, government officials responsible for information security; CERTs and 24×7 networks, policy makers, practicing attorneys, Judges, Magistrates and staff responsible for the administration of criminal justice, professors and academics, researchers and law students interested in the field.
