This is a unique interdisciplinary exploration of the
contemporary phenomenon of online medicine purchasing. In this
research, Sugiura provides a criminological understanding of
the sale of online medicines as well as the traditional illegal
markets. Crucially, the practice is investigated from the
perspective of web users, moving beyond the headlines and
warning campaigns to contextualise the provision of medicines
online, to describe this practice and subjective accounts of

Offering a much-needed a critical overview of the UK healthcare
regulatory system, Sugiura also analyses literature, data and
policy documents originating from different countries
highlighting that the geographical locations of participants in
web forums, online surveys and non-face-to-face interviews cannot
always be verified. With broad implications for regulation and
safety surrounding medicines online, this innovative and timely
study contributes to current online healthcare debates and
broadens our understanding of cybercrime. It will be of
particular interest to scholars of cybercrime and those
interested in the changing nature of deviance.
