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.
场所管理是日常活动理论的核心,积极利用场所管理者是25种情境犯罪预防技术之一。然而,对于利用场所管理者预防网络犯罪的有效性,我们知之甚少。本文通过对213名网络安全专业人员进行的 vignette 实验调查,探讨了他们对网络犯罪预防的看法。我们发现,与网络安全专业人员合作并积极将其作为场所管理者加以利用的组织,在控制网络犯罪方面比那些没有专门指派专业人员积极预防和控制网络犯罪的组织更有效。我们得出结论,被指派的网络场所管理者比那些没有时间和空间利用其网络专业知识的人员更有可能运用他们的网络技能和知识。
