“…The effectiveness of SCP in combating traditional crimes, ranging from robberies to vandalism, is well documented (Hodgkinson and Farrell 2018;Brewer et al 2019). Additionally, SCP is widely used to combat non-traditional crimes such as wildlife crime (Pires and Clarke 2011;Kurland et al 2017;Moreto and Gau 2017;Burton et al 2020), terrorism (Clarke and Newman 2009;Mandala and Freilich 2018;Freilich et al 2019), and maritime piracy (Shane et al 2015(Shane et al , 2018. Given the successful implementation of SCP by many governments and its wide adoption in dealing with a variety of traditional and non-traditional crimes, it is unsurprising that there is growing interests in using SCP to prevent cybercrimes (Willison 2000;Beebe and Rao 2005;Willison and Siponen 2009;Hinduja and Kooi 2013;Padayachee 2015;Ho et al 2022).…”

Place management is central to Routine Activities Theory and proactive utilization of place managers is one of 25 Situational Crime Prevention techniques. Yet little is known about the effectiveness of using place managers to prevent cybercrimes. This paper uses a vignette experimental survey of 213 cybersecurity professionals to explore their perceptions of cybercrime prevention. We find that organizations that partner with and proactively utilize cybersecurity professionals as place managers are perceived as more effective in controlling cybercrimes than those organizations that do not specifically assign professionals to proactively prevent and control cybercrimes. We conclude that assigned cyberplace managers are more likely to use their cyber skills and knowledge than those who lack the time and space to utilize their cyber expertise.

“…Scholars have employed SCP to a wide variety of crimes with some notable successes (Gilmour, 2016; Guerette & Bowers, 2017; Ho et al., 2022; Shane et al., 2018; Terry & Ackerman, 2008) and have extended this framework to terrorism and extremist violence in physical space (Clarke & Newman, 2006; Freilich & Newman, 2009; Freilich et al., 2019; Mandala & Freilich, 2018). Specifically, Clarke and Newman (2006) utilized SCP to identify four key factors that enable terrorist attacks to occur: access to targets, weapons, tools, and an environment where facilitating conditions exist that make attacks possible.…”

Research SummaryThis study utilized a quantitative analysis of 246 cyberattack incidents reported in the Extremist CyberCrime Database to identify significant predictors of nation‐state‐sponsored cyberattacks relative to those performed by non‐nation‐state‐sponsored ideological actors. Clarke and Newman's Situational Crime Prevention framework for terrorism was used to identify differential opportunities to successfully affect targets on the basis of tools, weapons, and the ability to access targets in online settings. The analysis noted nation‐state‐sponsored attacks were less likely to use high‐visibility attack methods and more likely to utilize attack methods leading to data breaches. In addition, they were more likely to target state governments and military entities relative to ideological actors.Policy ImplicationsNation‐state attacks are more difficult to identify or mitigate while in process, requiring a more robust national cybersecurity policy framework to be implemented that moves beyond current practices. There is a need to better utilize all aspects of government, from legislation to grant funding, in order to deter cyberattacks from continuing into the future.
