Routine Activities In A Virtual Space: A Taiwanese Case Of An Atm Hacking Spree., Ming-Li Hsieh, Shun-Yung Kevin Wang Jan 2018

Routine Activities In A Virtual Space: A Taiwanese Case Of An Atm Hacking Spree., Ming-Li Hsieh, Shun-Yung Kevin Wang

USF St. Petersburg campus Faculty Publications

Routine activity theory (RAT) was initially proposed to explain shifts in urban crime rates in the late 1970s, and has subsequently been applied to predictions of predatory criminal or victimization events. Despite a number of studies attempting to apply RAT to the vast array of crimes now taking place in a virtual environment such as phishing, fraud, malware infection, identify theft, computer viruses and cyber stalking on the Internet in Western countries, little is known about whether RAT could address automatic teller machine (ATM) hacking in an Asian setting. The current study applies RAT in order to examine a high-profile …


A Review Of Taiwanese Trust In The Police With Alternative Interpretations., Shun-Yung Kevin Wang Jan 2018

A Review Of Taiwanese Trust In The Police With Alternative Interpretations., Shun-Yung Kevin Wang

USF St. Petersburg campus Faculty Publications

This study aims to review and reinterpret Taiwanese citizens’ trust in the police, with a focus on taking its social changes, political transitions, and historical background into consideration. Modern Taiwan inherits both Chinese and Japanese cultures, and the urbanization on the island has generated substantial differences between rural areas and metropolitans. The political system has also successfully transformed from authoritarianism to democracy since late 1980s and subsequently leads to paradigm shift in policing. All of the contemporary empirical studies regarding public assessments of the police are based on survey data, however, they either poorly measure the multi-dimensional nature of trust …


The Imprint Of Childhood Abuse On Trauma-Related Shame In Adulthood., Joan Reid Jan 2018

The Imprint Of Childhood Abuse On Trauma-Related Shame In Adulthood., Joan Reid

USF St. Petersburg campus Faculty Publications

Research has consistently linked residual trauma-related shame among child sexual abuse (CSA) survivors to sexual revictimization, health risk behaviors, and poorer response to mental health treatment. However, questions remain regarding the imprint of childhood maltreatment on trauma-related shame including which CSA characteristics or types of childhood maltreatment contribute to residual shame in adulthood. Using data drawn from a prospective study of 174 primarily African American women with histories of CSA and a matched comparison group, this study explores whether specific characteristics of CSA (familial CSA, CSA with penetration, force used by CSA perpetrator), repeat sexual victimization in adolescence, childhood physical …

Evaluating Scholarly Book Publishers—A Case Study In The Field Of Journalism., Tina M. Neville, Deborah Boran Henry

By adapting multiple metrics used for journal article evaluation and replicating recent publisher metrics, the authors tested methods for evaluating scholarly book publishers. Using monographs published in journalism between 2007 and 2011 as a test case, results indicate these methods may be useful to other scholarly disciplines.

Technology And Organization: Strategic Intersections And Asymptotes., Christopher Davis Jan 2011

Technology And Organization: Strategic Intersections And Asymptotes., Christopher Davis

USF St. Petersburg campus Faculty Publications

Although it is commonly assumed or hoped that information systems can be aligned or matched with organizational needs, notions of match, alignment and fit are poorly defined. Nor is the hoped for alignment apparently happening. We argue that it is not in general possible to state an organizational need and then proceed to match it with a suitable technical arrangement. We see needs and technology as co-emergent, and mediated through possibilities. Needs do influence technological development, but those developments, from the very beginning; open up new possibilities, which in turn begin to be re-articulated as needs. Further, technological developments are …

Exploring Information Systems Implementation And Internalization Using Repertory Grid Analysis., Christopher Davis Jan 2001

Exploring Information Systems Implementation And Internalization Using Repertory Grid Analysis., Christopher Davis

USF St. Petersburg campus Faculty Publications

The research presented in this paper views the process of implementing information systems as an important locus of discussion and negotiation that affects judgements of information systems and the work they support. Empirical data gathered during a series of experiments conducted before, during and after the implementation of a large-scale distributed information system show how significant and unanticipated issues and concerns emerged during and immediately after implementation, and how these can provide important evaluative feedback to both developers and the user community. The research is significant to the IS community since it demonstrates how significant issues and concerns can be …
