Differential Cybercrime Risk Awareness and Exposure of American Internet Users: An Empirical Test of Routine Activity Theory

Abstract:

The present study uses recent data from the PEW Internet and the American Life Project to analyze the differential cybercrime risk awareness and exposure of private, home-connected Internet users in a structural equation model. The empirical analysis is framed by theoretical assumptions and predictions made by routine activity theory. Routine activity theory is commonly used to explain cybercrime phenomena, despite the lasting dissent among researchers over whether the application of the theory in a virtual environment mandates adjustments to its framework. Results show that, while some of routine activity theory’s core components indeed lose their relevance in the new environment, parts of the theory are nevertheless fit to explain victimization from Internet-borne attacks. Implications for user group-specific strategies to counteract malicious code attacks and future research are discussed.
