Convenience Dimensions
Convenience Dimensions
Researchers have studied the explanatory power of various perspectives that might explain the likelihood and occurrence of cybercrime among white-collar offenders. Payne and Hadzhidimova (2020) reviewed such disciplinary and interdisciplinary cybercrime research and found that important general perspectives include low or lack of self-control, reaction to stress and strain, learning from others, application of neutralization techniques, and abuse of routine activities. These perspectives are important elements in the theory of convenience, where reaction to stress and strain (Hinduja, 2012; Langton & Piquero, 2007; Thaxton & Agnew, 2018) belongs in the motive dimension, routine activities (Cohen & Felson, 1979; Huisman & Erp, 2013) belong in the opportunity dimension, while self-control (Craig & Piquero, 2016; Hinduja, 2012; Holtfreter et al., 2010), learning (Leasure & Zhang, 2018; Sutherland, 1983), and neutralization (Kaptein & Helvoort, 2019; Sykes & Matza, 1957) belong in the willingness dimension of convenience theory.

Abstract
Researchers have studied the explanatory power of various perspectives that might explain the likelihood and occurrence of cybercrime among white-collar offenders. Payne and Hadzhidimova (2020) reviewed such disciplinary and interdisciplinary cybercrime research and found that important general perspectives include low or lack of self-control, reaction to stress and strain, learning from others, application of neutralization techniques, and abuse of routine activities. These perspectives are important elements in the theory of convenience, where reaction to stress and strain (Hinduja, 2012; Langton & Piquero, 2007; Thaxton & Agnew, 2018) belongs in the motive dimension, routine activities (Cohen & Felson, 1979; Huisman & Erp, 2013) belong in the opportunity dimension, while self-control (Craig & Piquero, 2016; Hinduja, 2012; Holtfreter et al., 2010), learning (Leasure & Zhang, 2018; Sutherland, 1983), and neutralization (Kaptein & Helvoort, 2019; Sykes & Matza, 1957) belong in the willingness dimension of convenience theory.
