Randomized trial analyzes cyber-dependent offenses in young people, highlighting key personal and social risk factors.

The study aims to analyze the correlates of different categories of cyber-dependent offending using the Triple Risk Delinquency framework.
Sample of 725 Dutch students aged 12–25 enrolled in IT programs.
Applied principal component analysis to identify categories: technical hacking, tool use, misuse of unauthorized access.
Utilized logistic regression models to assess associations between correlates and categories of offending.
Prior victimization and peer offending positively associated with all cyber-dependent crime categories (p<0.05).
Higher IT knowledge linked to technical hacking while lower self-control correlated with misuse of unauthorized access.
Stronger parental rules negatively correlated with technical hacking.

Kranenbarg et al. (2026) studied this question.
