Cybercrimeology

Cybercrimeology is a podcast about cybercrime, its research and its researchers. We talk to top researchers from around the world to learn about different forms of cybercrime and their research. We learn about cybercrime theory, organized crime online, Darknet drug markets, cybercrime awareness and crime prevention, technology-facilitated intimate partner violence and much more. The podcast has been running since November of 2019 and there is still so much to learn. I am happy to have you along for the journey into this fascinating subject.

    The Ethical Hacker Pathway: Exploring Positive Cyber Behavior

    What is an ethical hacker, what do they do and how does their journey to this point unfold? Dr. Marleen Weulen Kranenbarg joins us to discuss her research towards discovering the overlaps in pathways to the positive and negative cyber behaviors among ethical hackers. We explore the nuances of ethical hacking, the factors influencing the choice of a positive path, and the challenges faced by schools and organizations in supporting ethical cybersecurity practices.

    Building the Basics: Preparing Officers for the Present and Researching Training for the Future

    What does it take to improve law enforcement’s response to cybercrime? Dr. Tom Holt from Michigan State University discusses his efforts to develop an evidence-based training center for police officers tackling cyber-enabled and cyber-dependent crimes. From identifying gaps in local law enforcement training to bridging the divide between academic research and real-world needs, Dr. Holt shares the challenges and opportunities in this critical area.

    The Open Science Revolution: Building Trust with Transparency

    In this episode, Asier Moneva, a cybercrime researcher at the Netherlands Institute for the Study of Crime and Law Enforcement (NSCR) and the Center of Expertise Cyber Security at The Hague University of Applied Sciences, discusses the transformative principles of open science. Asier explores how transparency and replicability can shape a more credible and collaborative research environment, sharing his experience with open science practices such as preregistration, registered reports, and open-access data. We discuss the challenges in open science such as those posed by academic pressures, like the 'publish or perish' culture, and highlight how open science practices benefit both researchers and the public.

    Cinematic Cybersecurity: What are movies teaching us about passwords?

    Ever wonder how much influence movies have on your cybersecurity habits? In this episode, Maike Raphael, a PhD student and researcher at the University of Hannover, joins us to discuss her fascinating research into how films depict passwords and cybersecurity. We explore the impact of these depictions on public understanding, what makes a good password (and what doesn't), and how media shapes our perceptions of cyber risks. Raphael’s analysis covers a dataset of over 97,000 movies and reveals some surprising trends about the intersection of film and cybersecurity awareness.

    Signals, Deception, and AI: Navigating Trust in the Digital World

    In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of signaling theory with Judith Donath, a faculty advisor at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University and author of The Social Machine. We explore signaling theory and its roots in biology and human communication and how it applies to today's digital ecosystems. With the rapid advancement of AI, deep fakes, and machine learning, the integrity of communication and signals is more crucial than ever. How can we distinguish between genuine signals and those designed to deceive us?

    Policing Street Trolls: Navigating Cop Baiting and Digital Extremism

    In this episode of Cybercrimeology, we speak with Dr. Laura Huey, Professor of Sociology at the University of Western Ontario, about the rising phenomenon of cyber cop baiting and its impact on law enforcement. Dr. Huey delves into the difficulties faced by police officers, the spread of misinformation, and the role of right-wing extremism in targeting police offline for online. Join us as we explore the complexities of policing in the digital age and the importance of evidence-based research in addressing these challenges.

    Timing is Everything: Context-Based Cybersecurity Training

    In this episode of Cybercrimeology, we are joined by Joakim Kävrestad, an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the School of Engineering, Jönköping University in Sweden. Joakim shares his journey from a technical background in networking and cybersecurity to focusing on the societal and psychological aspects of security. He discusses his innovative work on Context-Based Micro-Training (CBMT), a method that enhances cybersecurity training by delivering relevant information to users at the precise moment they need it. We discuss the design science approach to research and compare our favourite pieces of bad cybersecurity advice.
