“…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.

“…Although, it's native habitat is undergrowth in open forest and woodlands near a waterbody, it is also known to occur near farmlands, villages and increasingly becoming common in urban and semi-urban areas (Burton and Burton 2002). In some places, such as Morachi Chincholi in Maharashtra, India, "eco-tourism" based on Indian peafowl is flourishing and it 6 is an additional or alternative source of income for local community.…”

21Wild life is increasingly coming in contact with humans in many parts of the world. Human 22 perception of wild life may be an important factor in population management and 23 conservation practices in urban and semi-urban areas. Human attitude towards bird species 24 may vary from non-violent coexistence to a perception of birds as pests. Based on the data 25 collected from survey interviews, we studied the perceptions of local communities in 26 Rajasthan, India towards Indian Peafowl. Local communities in Rajasthan reported Indian 27 Peafowl as crop pest and this perception varied across seasons. The crop loss incurred due to 28 Indian Peafowl also varied across seasons according to the respondents. Despite reporting 29 peafowls as a crop pest, locals regularly offered grains for them as a traditional practice. 30Thus, at our study sites locals have mostly positive perception about Indian peafowl around 31 them. 32Food provisioning by local human population influenced diet composition and time-budget of 33 Indian Peafowls at food provision and non-provision sites. Sites at which food provisioning 34 was less or absent, peafowl spent more time in walking in search of food and more than half 35 of their diet consisted of natural food. In contrast, the sites at which plenty of grains were 36 available, time spent in walking was significantly less, while time spent in feeding was 37 significantly more; and over 70% of their diet consisted of carbohydrate and protein-rich 38 provisioned grains. Food provisioning changed the benefit: cost ratio (measured as time spent 39 in feeding to time spent in all other behaviours) between provision and non-provision sites. 40 Thus, food provisioning by humans can change feeding ecology of native Indian peafowl 41 populations, while the presence of peafowl in human dominated landscape changes how 42 humans interact with wild life around them.43 3 Key words: human-wildlife interactions, human perception, Indian Peafowl, food 44 provisioning, time-budget, benefit: cost ratio 45 46 Introduction: 47 65 provisioning in the form of crops, ornamental plants, livestock or waste food thrown in open 66 becomes easy and reliable source of food for wild life. Food provided by humans tends to be 67 4 calorie rich, easily digestible, available at predictable times and places. It is known that food 68 provisioning might change feeding habits, diet preference or diet composition of wild 69 mammals (Robb et al. 2008; Sih et al. 2011; Sengupta et al. 2015; Ayyappan et al. 2016; 70 Sengupta and Radhakrishna 2018). Reduced predatory pressure and regular availability of 71 nutrient rich food (in the form of crops) round the year are likely to provide greater resilience 72 of wild animals. It also allows them to live successfully close to agricultural landscape and 73 human habitation (Gilroy and Sutherland 2007; Sih et al. 2011; Ayyappan et al. 2016). 74There are many avian species like crows, sparrows, pigeons, cranes, egrets that 75 inhabit human-dominated landscapes or stay very close to ...
