Police capacity for cybercrime response
Perceived Formal and Informal Sanctions in Deterring Cybercrime in a College Sample
The threat of formal sanctions is the criminal justice system’s primary tool to discourage online and offline deviant behavior. Yet, scholars have expressed strong concerns about the effectiveness of formal sanctions to deter cybercrime. Even more surprising is the sparsity of deterrence research in the cybercrime literature. This study examined the effects of perceived formal and informal sanctions on digital piracy, computer hacking, and online…
An examination of English and Welsh constables’ perceptions of the seriousness and frequency of online incidents
This study examines the perceptions of police constables and sergeants across England and Wales regarding the nature of cybercrimes, their frequency, and any time spent investigating these offences each week. Though previous research has examined line officer views and police management in the US, there is limited research examining how constables view online crimes as they are being directed to address them through national policy, and through l…
Need for Debate on the Implications of Honeypot Data for Restrictive Deterrence Policies in Cyberspace
Examining the Mediating Effects of Social Learning on the Low Self-Control-Cyberbullying Relationship in a Youth Sample
Over the last decade, researchers have conducted a significant amount of research to explore the causes and consequences of cyberbullying, where individuals use the Internet in order to send harmful and aggressive messages. Using a sample of middle and high school students in Kentucky, the current study utilized low self-control and social learning theories in an attempt to further understand why adolescents engage in cyberbullying. The binary lo…
An Assessment of the Current State of Cybercrime Scholarship
Computers and the Internet have become a vital part of modern life across the world, affecting communications, finance, and governance. At the same time, technology has created unparalleled opportunities for crime and deviance on- and off-line. Criminological research has expanded its focus over the last two decades to address the various forms of technology-enabled crime and the applicability of traditional theories to account for offending. The…
Low Self-Control, Deviant Peer Associations, and Juvenile Cyberdeviance
Predicting Online Harassment Victimization Among a Juvenile Population
Online harassment can consist of threatening, worrisome, emotionally hurtful, or sexual messages delivered via an electronic medium that can lead victims to feel fear or distress much like real-world harassment and stalking. This activity is especially prevalent among middle and high school populations who frequently use technology as a means to communicate with others. Little is known, however, whether factors linked to computer crime victimizat…
Social Learning and Cyber-Deviance
Akers’ social learning theory is one of the most recognized criminological theories because of its comprehensiveness and strong empirical support. Recent research that has applied social learning theory to account for the problem of cybercrime and deviance has provided only partial examinations of the social learning process and gives little insight into the Social Structure and Social Learning (SSSL) model. This study uses structural equation mo…
The effect of self-control on victimization in the cyberworld
Examining the Applicability of Lifestyle-Routine Activities Theory for Cybercrime Victimization
A great deal of criminological research has attempted to understand and identify the causes of victimization using the lifestyle-routine activities theory. Recent researchers have argued that the lifestyle-routine activities theory may be able to explain the increasingly significant phenomenon of computer and cybercrime. This claim has been contested by Yar (Citation2005), however, who argues that routine activities theory is limited in explainin…
