Abstract

Routine Activity Theory (RAT) and the general theory of crime have been widely employed to understand cybercrime victimization. However, there is a need to integrate these theoretical frameworks to better understand victimization from a cross-national perspective. A web-based survey was conducted among participants aged 15 to 25 years from the U.S., Finland, Spain, and South Korea. Factors related to RAT were associated with increased victimization in all four countries although results varied between the countries. Low self-control was associated with victimization in the U.S., Finland, and Spain but not in South Korea. Using decomposition analysis, we discovered that the association between low self-control and victimization occurred both directly and indirectly through measures of RAT. Our study demonstrates the need to integrate theories to better understand the dynamics of victimization. Despite the usefulness of RAT, other theories should be taken into consideration when investigating cybercrime victimization.

跨国背景下网络犯罪受害的情境和个人风险因素。
常规活动理论(RAT)和犯罪一般理论已被广泛用于理解网络犯罪受害情况。然而,有必要整合这些理论框架,以便从跨国角度更好地理解受害情况。我们对来自美国、芬兰、西班牙和韩国的 15 至 25 岁的参与者进行了网络调查。在所有四个国家中,与 RAT 相关的因素都与受害程度的增加有关,但各国的结果有所不同。在美国、芬兰和西班牙,低自制力与受害相关,但在韩国则不相关。通过分解分析,我们发现低自制力与受害之间的关联既有直接关联,也有通过RAT测量间接关联。我们的研究表明,有必要整合各种理论,以更好地理解受害的动态变化。尽管 RAT 很有用,但在调查网络犯罪受害情况时还应考虑其他理论。

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Press/Politics is an interdisciplinary journal for the analysis and discussion of the role of the press and politics in a globalized world. The Journal is interested in theoretical and empirical research on the linkages between the news media and political processes and actors. Special attention is given to the following subjects: the press and political institutions (e.g. the state, government, political parties, social movements, unions, interest groups, business), the politics of media coverage of social and cultural issues (e.g. race, language, health, environment, gender, nationhood, migration, labor), the dynamics and effects of political communication.
