“…Cybercrime refers to any criminal activity carried out through the use of Information Communication Technology (ICT) and the Internet (Button & Cross, 2017; Hall et al., 2021; Iacobucci et al., 2021; Jaishankar, 2018; Leukfeldt, Notté & Malsch, 2020; Park et al., 2019). It has been defined in different jurisdictions and by many scholars (Adogame, 2009; Button et al., 2014; Hall et al., 2021; Jaishankar, 2018; Lazarus, 2020a, 2020b; Park et al., 2019; Powell, Stratton & Cameron, 2018; Yar & Steinmetz, 2019) and security agencies (e.g., Interpol, 2020; Kaspersky, 2020) to mean slightly different things. However, the most consistent idea is that the term ‘cybercrime’ is an umbrella word for a wide spectrum of digital crimes such as cyber espionage, cyberstalking, online fraud, cyberbullying, online revenge pornography, and the distribution of computer viruses (Gordon & Ford, 2006; Lazarus, 2019; Yar & Steinmetz, 2019).…”

“…Thus, while the study of gender issues inevitably involves comparisons, such comparisons are essential to advancing our understanding of the psychology of gender more broadly and how women and men may perceive some crimes on the Internet distinctively (Eagly, 2016). For example, many qualitative studies (e.g., Adeduntan, 2022; Cassiman, 2019; Ibrahim, 2017; Jansen & Leukfeldt, 2016; Lazarus, 2018; Lazarus & Button, in press; Lewis, 2020), quantitative studies (e.g., Barnor et al., 2020; Wang, Nnaji & Jung, 2020), and review articles (e.g., Hall et al., 2021; Lazarus, 2020b) on socio‐economic cybercrime category suggest that victims are not targeted based on their gender.…”

Do men and women perceive cybercrime types differently? This article draws on the distinction between socio-economic and psychosocial cybercrime proposed by Lazarus (2019) to investigate whether men and women hold different perceptions of digital crimes across these two dimensions. Informed by the synergy between feminist theory and the Tripartite Cybercrime Framework (TCF), our survey examined respondents' differential perceptions of socio-economic cybercrime (online fraud) and psychosocial cybercrime (cyberbullying, revenge porn, cyberstalking, online harassment) among men and women in the United Kingdom. The results revealed that women considered psychosocial cybercrime worse than men. Conversely, we found no differences between men and women with regard to socio-economic cybercrime. The article concludes that psychosocial cybercrimes are more gendered than socio-economic cybercrime, suggesting problems with the meaning of 'cyber-enabled crimes', and substantiating the synergy between the TCF and feminist perspectives.

“…'Academia is embedded in prestige economies' (Baker, 2019: 1) and I am now a doctoral graduate. Even as I was still wearing the cloak of stigma often bestowed on individuals who have withdrawn from the educational system, I was nonetheless validated and cited by some important figures in multiple fields of study, such as religious studies (Recio-Román et al 2019;Van Liere, 2020), family studies (Ribbens-McCarthy, Gillies and Hooper, 2019), organized crime (Hall et al 2020), counter-fraud studies (Button and Whittaker, 2020;Wang et al 2020), social psychology (Nartova-Bochaver et al 2018;Tsumura et al 2018) and legal studies Kirillova et al 2017;Orji, 2019). An author's career stage and popularity in the field can influence the citation rate of their publication outputs (Lazarus, 2020;Nightingale and Marshall, 2013).…”

Demonstrating the Therapeutic Values of Poetry in Doctoral Research: Autoethnographic Steps from the Enchanted Forest to a PhD by Publication Path

We rarely acknowledge the achievements of doctoral candidates who fought with all they had but still lost the battle and dropped out – we know so little about what becomes of them. This reflective article is about the betrayals of PhD supervisors in one institution, the trauma and stigma of withdrawing from that institution, writing poetry as a coping mechanism and the triumph in completing a Thesis by Publication (TBP) in another institution. Thus, I build on Lesley Saunders’s idea about using poetry to operate on ‘a personal capacity’ in educational research. Accordingly, I present an original autoethnographic poem and other poetic artefacts as well as reflections to sharpen the sociological eye of my story. In it, I merge two different segments of experiences in poetry – trauma and triumph – to draw an image of my doctoral journey, in the moment and in retrospection. By doing so, I illuminate the struggles involved in becoming an independent researcher. I also encourage practitioners to conceive that their negative experiences in doing educational research can be transformed into an achievement depending on the stand they take when faced with it. Certainly, poor academic performance can be closely associated with abandoning doctoral studies, but that is not always the case. Therefore, it is my hope that this autoethnographic work may instill hope in doctoral candidates who are still in the struggle to find a voice.

“…Usually, preparators are boys, and girls are mostly victimized. The victimization causes negative psychological consequences like suicidal ideation, depression, stress, and so on (Hall et al 2021). Receiving support can create positive effectiveness by increasing secured feelings.…”

This paper investigates the adolescents’ importance of parental relationships in preventing them from cybercrime victimization. In addition, the role of locality in the level of internet addiction is studied. A sample comprised of 360 students of age group 15-17 years, pursuing their studies in 13 CBSE schools of New Delhi was selected randomly. These selected students were in classes XI and XII. The internet addiction and the satisfaction level of parental relationships were analyzed to understand the adolescents’ online behaviors. The mean, SD, and standard error measures of several factors were analyzed. Findings reveal that there exists a significant difference in internet addiction between urban and rural adolescents. The findings also confirmed that 84.75 % of cyber-victimized adolescents have a dissatisfied parental relationship.
