This chapter looks at whether a credible link exists between “internet addiction” - the phenomenon of being “hooked on” online activities - and cybercrime. The bulk of this chapter explores trends and controversies surrounding internet addiction and then examines research findings linking internet addiction to cybercrime. Psychologists’ interventions for reducing the adverse effects of internet addiction are also discussed at the chapter’s end.
