NAS ransomware
The present study examines the impact of ransomware against Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices. NAS devices are external harddrives which are usually easily accessible through the internet. We analyse 502 ransomware attacks reported to the Dutch Police between 2019 and 2022, of which 104 (20.7%) targeted NAS devices. These attacks targeted both companies as individuals. Furthermore, we examine the police intervention against a NAS ransomware …
Risk factors for fraud victimization
Fraud against individuals is a major and growing problem. Understanding why some people fall victim to fraud, while others do not, is crucial in developing effective prevention strategies. We therefore studied the effect of socio-demographics, personality traits, mental, general, and cognitive health, routine Internet activities, and prior fraud knowledge on general fraud victimization, susceptibility to fraud attempts, and exposure to fraud atte…
Lost in privacy? Online privacy from a cybersecurity expert perspective
Research on the privacy paradox shows that ICT users have serious concerns about their online privacy but often do not behave accordingly. Most insights, however, are based on research among lay users. It is unclear whether users with high expertise on online privacy and cybersecurity would show similar discrepancies between concerns and behavior. We therefore interviewed 20 privacy and cybersecurity experts about their views on online privacy re…

Dishonesty is prevalent and causes great damage to society. On an individual level, besides reaping rewards, it also carries a psychological cost for those who engage in it. This principle is used to make people more honest with behavioral interventions, one of them being the well-known ‘signature nudge’. Digital transition in society has however led to changes in the way people sign, which may affect the effectiveness of this nudge. In two exper…
The role of self-control and cognitive functioning in educational inequalities in adolescent smoking and binge drinking
In this study population, pre-existing variations between adolescents in terms of self-control and cognitive functioning played a minor role in educational inequalities in smoking, but not in binge drinking
Risk factors for attrition from an evidence-based parenting program
Traditional, Cyber and Combined Bullying Roles
This study (1) reports frequency rates of mutually exclusive traditional, cyber and combined (both traditional and cyber) bullying roles; and (2) investigates whether adolescents belonging to particular bullying roles show higher levels of involvement in risky online activities (Compulsive Internet Use (CIU), online grooming victimization, and sexting) and risky offline activities (bad behavior in school, drinking alcohol and truancy) than non-in…
Mothering, Fathering, and Externalizing Behavior in Toddler Boys
This study examined the effects of reported maternal and paternal support, psychological control, and spanking on externalizing behavior of toddler boys. Questionnaires were administered to both parents of 104 two-parent families with a 3-year-old son. Both maternal and paternal psychological control was related to boys' externalizing behavior. Interaction effects were found, in that the association between maternal spanking and boys' externalizi…
The relations among child negative interactive behavior, child temperament, and maternal behavior
The Dutch Criminological Enterprise
Dutch criminology was influenced first by France, then by Germany, and, since World War II, by the United States. American influence has been strong in many fields of science, particularly in the social sciences, including criminology. The Netherlands has mainly followed American developments in criminological theory. There have been few original Dutch theoretical contributions. Most criminologists, including those mainly interested in qualitativ…
Parenting During Toddlerhood
The present study examines the contribution of parental, contextual, and child characteristics to parenting behavior during toddlerhood in 111 two-parent families with a 17-month-old son ( M = 16.9 months, SD = 0.57). Parenting was conceptualized in terms of five dimensions: support, structure, positive discipline, psychological control, and physical punishment. In general, results indicate that the effects of parental, contextual, and child char…
Trends in violent crime
An Empirical Test of a General Theory of Crime
The current investigation examined the psychometric properties of Grasmick et al.'s self-control measure and its relationship with deviance on large, representative adolescent samples ( N = 8,417) from Hungary, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United States. Important findings indicate that (1) the self-control measure is multidimensional; (2) the self-control measure is tenable for males, females, five different age groups (15-, 16-, 17-, 1…
Religiosity, Religious Climate, and Delinquency Among Ethnic Groups in the Netherlands
In this paper the effect of religiosity on delinquent behaviour is examined for Moroccan, Turkish, Surinamese (subdivided into Hindustani, Creoles, and Javanese), and Dutch boys. It is proposed that religion can be considered as an element of the social bond. Next, the distinction between moral and secular communities introduced by Stark et al. (1982) is applied to the ethnic groups, leading to the conclusion that Moroccans and Turks live in mora…
The Measurement of Sexual Harassment
This study examines the results of three instruments developed to measure sexual harassment. Two instruments were used in the Dutch national victimization survey: an oral interview and a written questionnaire. Three issues will be discussed: (1) do both instruments produce the same victimization rates? (2) are the type of incidents mentioned similar? and (3) is the relationship between the answers on both instruments linked to socio-demographic c…
Studying Ethnic Minorities in Relation to Crime and Police Discrimination
In this paper I reply to most of the remarks made by Bowling (1990). Bowling seems to have no confidence in either self-report data or arrest data. He argues that blacks (or ethnic minorities) are no more involved in crime than autochthons but that they are discriminated against by the police (and by society at large). Finally, he seems to argue that there is no association between family integration and crime among blacks. My answer to Bowling i…
Discrepancies Between Police and Self-Report Data for Dutch Racial Minorities
This paper discusses the validity of self-report data. It appears that self-report data are not equally valid among all ethnic groups. Rather large differences are apparent in the tendency of boys with official police contacts to admit delinquent activities. Youngsters from Morocco and Turkey were much more reticent about admitting delinquent activities than those born in The Netherlands or coming from Surinam. These differences in willingness to…
Women's Experiences of Sexual Harassment
The purpose of this study war to look for causes of women's fear of crime. It was hypothesised that experiences of sexual harassment, which usually are not serious but could occur relatively often, can lead women to be fearful and restrict themselves to their homes. A distinction was made between victimisation inside the family and outside the family. The results showed a strong relation between fear/anticipation and victimisation for situations …
