Low self-control and cybercrime: Exploring the utility of the general theory of crime beyond digital piracy
作者:
Highlights:
• We examine the effect of low self-control on cybercrime beyond digital piracy.
• An attitudinal measure of low self-control is used test our hypotheses.
• Multivariate analyses demonstrate support for the theory’s generality hypothesis.
• Low self-control is predictive of cybercrime in general.
• Low self-control is predictive of cybercrime beyond digital piracy.
