Young people and pathways into cybercrime

“This project aims to draw together existing evidence on online behaviour and associations to criminal behaviour among young people,” Julia Davidson, professor of criminology at Middlesex University, said. “Specifically, it intends to explore the trajectories and pathways that lead to ‘cyber-criminality’ through a series of mixed-methodological endeavours and the integration of theoretical frameworks across criminology and psychology and computer science.” Professor Davidson added that they were focusing on the potential path from cyber juvenile delinquency to lone cybercriminal, to organised cybercrime. “Law enforcement have commented that…particularly IT-literate boys, are increasingly committing cybercrime offences ranging from money laundering for criminal gangs to hacking,” she said. “Unfortunately, many of these young people are ignorant about the severe custodial sentences such crimes carry as well as the possibility of extradition to the US to stand trial where crimes are committed against a US company or agency. This is an international problem.” Among other things, the project aims to inform professionals within key infrastructures under threat from cybercriminality, and help schools and colleges educate vulnerable young people as to the dangers of cybercrime.
