Abstract

The article focuses on a study conducted in The Hague, Netherlands, examining the relationship between low self-control, social learning, and serious cybercrime among Dutch youth. Utilizing survey data from 1,240 young individuals, the research identified distinct patterns in cyber-dependent crimes, such as password guessing and hacking. It found that while simpler cyber offenses were linked to low self-control, more serious offenses required higher self-control when social learning factors were considered, suggesting that traditional crime theories may not fully explain complex cybercrime behaviors. The study emphasizes the influence of both online and offline social environments on these behaviors. [Extracted from the article]
