Roberta O’Malley, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Criminology, presented her research at the Human Factor in Cybercrime Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark.
O’Malley shared findings from her study, "Cybercrime Specialists or Generalists? A Latent Class Analysis of Cyber Offenders." For this study, she used latent class analysis to examine patterns of cyber-offending and identify distinctions among offenders.
The conference focused on the human factor in cybercrime and addressed the interaction between end-users, criminal actors, and the institutional environment. The annual Human Factor in Cybercrime Conference offers an opportunity to present cutting-edge research and introduce new projects and thought-provoking initiatives, and promotes exchange among participants that informs ongoing research.
