Overview

This analysis compares risk factors for cybercrime offenders and traditional offenders, revealing unique traits among groups.

Key Points

  • A multinomial logistic regression model was used to analyze data from 1,240 participants aged 16 to 25.
  • Cyber-dependent offenders exhibit distinct traits, while financial cybercrime offenders resemble traditional offenders more closely.
  • Higher self-control, typically seen as protective, may actually create opportunities for engaging in cybercrime.
