Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: A great deal of criminological research has attempted to understand and identify the causes of victimization using the lifestyle/routine activities theory. This preeminent theory suggests that victimization is most likely when individuals are placed in high risk situations, are in close proximity to motivated offenders, appear to be attractive targets to criminals, and have no real guardian. This theory has been used to account for many different street crimes and recognizes the link between victims and offenders. Recently, some researchers have argued that routine activities theory may be able to explain the increasingly significant phenomenon of computer and cybercrime. However, there have been no empirical tests of this theory with measures for computer and cybercrime. In addition, recent scholarship by Yar (2005) has suggested that routine activities theory may not be applicable to explain computer and cybercrime victimization. Thus, this study attempts to address this gap in the research literature by examining a specific form of cybercrime, malware infection, using a sample of students at a southeastern university. The findings are used to explore the importance of the various components of routine activities for cybercrime. The implications of these findings for theorists and researchers will also be explored.
