Summary

What leads someone from early curiosity in technology to criminal hacking? Dr Melissa Martineau joins us to discuss cyber profiling, pathways into cyber dependent offending and what distinguishes those who drift toward crime from those who enter cybersecurity. We talk about motivations, early developmental factors and what her research reveals about opportunities for prevention and diversion.
