Showcasing the Undergraduates of the University of Cincinnati Cybercrime and Behavior Online Research Group
Thu, Nov 13, 5:00 to 6:20pm, Liberty Salon J - M4Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel
Abstract/Description
Objective: Undergraduate scholars from the University of Cincinnati School of Criminal Justice’s CYBORG present research centered on perceptions of the seriousness of cybercrime, the incel (involuntarily celibate men) community, and victim services for fraud and identity theft among victim service providers in the USA.
Data/Methods: The presentations employ data derived from online surveys, public webpages and discussion boards, and the National Survey of Victim Service Providers. The presentations include mixed methods and regression-based analytical approaches.
Results: The researchers illustrate that relative to offline crime, cybercrime is increasingly viewed as serious by the public. Additionally, within the incel community a specific lexicon appears to have emerged that has centered on specific vitriolic themes. Further, within this community various online behaviors appear to affect the likelihood of engaging in a self-harming process called looksmaxxing. Finally, among providers various organizational characteristics are associated with the likelihood of offering victim services for fraud and identity theft.
Conclusion/Implications: The presentations highlight the challenges and insights that can be gained in studying cybercrime, online behaviors, and the available resources for victims of crimes often perpetrated online.
