Expert Explores Demography of Computer Crime Victims
The technological trappings of today’s world make a certain degree of exposure to modern crime like identity theft and online credit card fraud inevitable, but what are the factors that make someone more likely to fall victim to these kinds of threats? A MET expert has new insight.
As program coordinator to MET’s Cybercrime Investigation & Cybersecurity graduate certificate and Master of Criminal Justice concentration, Professor Kyung-shick Choi (MET’02) has done ground-breaking research into the mechanics and prevention of computer crime. Now, in a scholarly article newly accepted for publication by Cluster Computing, Dr. Choi shares research into what characteristics and behaviors are shared by victims of cybercrime.
“Demographic variables and risk factors in computer-crime: an empirical assessment” can be read in the pages of Cluster Computing.
