“…Additionally, longitudinal research conducted by Logos et al, 2021 [5], found that rates of any form of cyber risk-taking were high and increased over a three-year period from 79.6% in 2018 (13-14-year-olds) to 89.5% in 2021 (same cohort at 15-16 years old). Research has theorised that many young hackers often naturally desist by their mid-20s, which is again in line with youth offending in other areas [25,53,54]; however, as this is beyond the age group within this study, it is predicted that age will be related to increased hacking perpetration. We therefore propose the following hypothesis: Hypothesis 5 (H5): Increasing age will be associated with greater levels of hacking behaviour.…”

“…Furthermore, when conceptualising youth populations, there is some evidence that the risk-taking typically associated with adolescence is in some part caused by brain maturation processes that continue into the mid-20s [1], therefore moving the conceptual age of adulthood to approximately 25. Therefore, extending the age range could test the age-crime curve relationship and the hypothesised natural desistance of the majority of hackers by their mid-20s [25,53,54].…”

Adolescents are currently the most digitally connected generation in history. There is an ever-growing need to understand how typical adolescent risk-taking intersects with the vastly criminogenic potential of digital technology. Criminal hacking in older adolescents (16–19-year-olds) was assessed using an adapted Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) model, a cohesive theoretical framework that incorporates cognitive processes and human drivers (informed by psychology, cyberpsychology, and criminology theory). In 2021, a large-scale anonymous online survey was conducted across nine European countries. Criminal hacking was assessed using data from 3985 participants (M = 1895, 47.55%; F = 1968, 49.39%). This study formulated a powerful predictive model of youth hacking intention (accounting for 38.8% of the variance) and behaviour (accounting for 33.6% of the variance). A significant minority, approximately one in six (16.34%), were found to have engaged in hacking, and approximately 2% reported engaging in hacking often or very often. Increased age, being male, and offline deviant behaviour were significant predictors of hacking behaviour. In line with the TPB, intention was the strongest individual predictor of hacking behaviour, which in turn was significantly predicted by cognitive processes accounted for by TPB constructs: subjective norms of family and peers, attitudes towards hacking, and perceived behavioural control. These TPB constructs were found to be significantly associated with human factors of risk-taking, toxic online disinhibition, offline deviant behaviour, and demographic variables of age and gender. Implications for future research, interventions, policy, and practice are discussed.

“…Police describe almost any crime committed through, with, by, or against a computer as "hacking." "For many people, the hacker is an ominous figure, a smart-aleck sociopath ready to burst out of his basement wilderness and savage other people's lives for his own anarchical convenience" (Sterling, 1993). This concept of "hackers" is still the subject of heated controversy.…”

A growing number of scholars state that the Internet presents “some unique opportunities for deviant behavior” (Rogers et al, 2006). However, although some researchers have studied this issue, the factors leading teenagers to adopt a web-deviant behavior have received less attention. From this background, the present article sets out to explore the facilitators of cybercrime. The author will explain the diffusion of web-deviant behavior amongst young people through an analysis of the literature while taking into consideration the conceptual model of diffusion of innovation by Greenhalgh et al. (2004).

“…Esto fue lo que sucedió con las primeras redes electrónicas desarrolladas en el curso de los años 80, época de los primeros grupos de hackers, verdadero digital underground (Sterling, 1992); e incluso con Hakim Bey -seudónimo de un estudiante universitario californiano atípico y militante anarquista-teorizando La Zona Temporalmente Autónoma (Temporary Autonomous Zone). La red es en la época el espacio de una verdadera cultura política alternativa.…”

Democracia Digital Y E-Participación. En La Intersección De Una Sociología De Los Usos Y De Una Antropología De Lo Simbólico

A partir de la observación de la sobremediatización reciente de figuras que han marcado la actualidad mundial en este último tiempo (Steve Jobs, Julian Assange, The Anonymous) se intentará, con la ayuda de un cruce de la sociología de los usos y la antropología de lo simbólico, mostrar cómo la innovación tecnológica –ya sea liberación o alienación– habla sobre nosotros, sobre nuestras sociedades y el estado del mundo y de los hombres. Inversamente, se tratará también de observar cómo los nuevos medios, como Internet, constituyen nuevos espacios públicos de mediación, en el seno de los cuáles la innovación es a la vez reflexiva y performativa. Así, desde el punto de vista de los usos, podemos considerar Internet como una forma de organización política mundial donde los ciudadanos desarrollan determinados usos sociales (y no solamente como un medio) a partir de esta transformación radical del espacio público tanto local como global. La aproximación operatoria de una sociología de los usos y de los medios y de una antropología de lo simbólico y de las prácticas culturales parece entonces aquí necesaria a fin de intentar distinguir las dimensiones populistas, subversivas y críticas.
