Summary

In this episode we have a conversation with Dr. Thomas Dearden from Virginia Tech to delve into the sociological underpinnings of cybercrime, discussing how strain and anomie theories interact with the motivations behind online offending. We talk about the nuances of these theories, how they can shed light on cybercrime, the their potential for cybercrime prevention. Recorded at the Human Factors in Cybercrime Conference, the discussion also touches on some ongoing work focusing on the use of honeypots to study cybercriminal behaviour.
