DESCRIPTION:The “gender ratio problem” is a feminist critique of crimi
 nology that questions why males are more likely to commit crime than femal
 es. This research applies the gender ratio problem to a predominantly Aust
 ralian sample of computer crime offenders involved in computer fraud and/o
 r unauthorised access. The focus of this presentation is on gender differe
 nces for those involved in computer crime to provide insight into the disp
 roportionately higher number of males who engage in these activities. This
  qualitative analysis draws from interviews with self-identified offenders
 \, law enforcement officers\, and court documents.\n\n*BIO*\n\nDr Alice Hu
 tchings recently joined the Security Group as a Research Associate. Previo
 usly\, Alice was a Senior Research Analyst with the Australian Institute o
 f Criminology’s Transnational and Organised Crime Program. Alice has ext
 ensive experience working across all tiers of government\, as well as the 
 academic and private sectors.\nAlice’s PhD research applied existing soc
 iological theories of crime to determine how they explain computer crimes 
 that compromise data and financial security. Alice has undertaken cybercri
 me-related research since 2007\, when she examined risk factors for phishi
 ng victimisation. More recent work has examined criminal and security risk
 s in the cloud\, how online offenders perceive victims and select targets\
 , consumer fraud\, computer security risks for small businesses\, security
  and privacy issues relating to computer chip identification systems\, the
  misuse of information and communication technology in the public sector\,
  and exploring the relationship between the use of child exploitation mate
 rials\, the use of internet- enabled technologies to procure children\, an
 d contact sexual offending against children.
