In Cyber Crime: All That Matters, Peter Warren and Michael Streeter outline the history, scale and importance of cyber crime.

Brazil was one of the emerging world powers to be invited to the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. Having jettisoned her empire just thirty years before, the Portuguese-speaking nation was showed signs of becoming one of the financial powerhouses not just of Latin America, but of the world. Helped by abundant natural resources, cheap labour and large-scale immigration, Brazil’s economy had grown massively – and now it wanted to take its proper place in the society of world nations. In Paris, the country’s delegation was led by Epitacio Pessoa, a brilliant lawyer who had made his mark in national politics and was also a committed Europhile. It was a shrewd choice; helped by the Americans, Pessoa negotiated a deal to rescue Brazilian coffee from the German ports where it had languished since the middle of the war. He also helped win a place at the top table for Brazil in the new League of Nations. Pessoa was then rewarded by being elected president of Brazil – even though he was in Paris at the time. Yet even as Brazil enjoyed its moment of triumph on the international stage, the country’s political system was starting to unravel. Pessoa’s presidency ended in failure in 1922, its modest achievements overshadowed by bitter army revolts. And as Pessoa embarked on a new career as an international judge, his country slipped further into political infighting between elite oligarchies until the ageing republic finally folded in 1930. This, then, is the story of Epitacio Pessoa, the Treaty of Versailles and the rise and fall of Brazil’s tumultuous First Republic.

"Until now, the Internet has been about connecting humans, enabling us to share content and ideas, even if some of it is unpalatable, offensive or illegal. In the next five years, however, algorithms, software bots and smart devices are set to outstrip human Internet activity. Cloud computing, big data and the 'Internet of Things' mean that machines will increasingly make decisions without human involvement. Done right, this could be a blessing, but what if things were to go wrong? Could machines be held accountable? Whose fault would it be? Who decides the ethical boundaries of technology? In his new paper, Can we make the Digital World ethical? Peter Warren, with contributions from Michael Streeter and Jane Whyatt, explores these key issues and raises important questions about our relationship with technology and the Internet." --
