I
am the Founding Father of the academic discipline
"Cyber Criminology" and
I coined the term "Cyber Criminology" in 2007 and I
defined cyber criminology as “the study of causation
of crimes that occur in the cyberspace and its impact in
the physical space”.
I
also coined the term "Cyber Victimology" in 2015
and I defined cyber victimology as "the study of
forms of online victimization, its impact on victims,
and responses of society and systems.”
To
further the discipline, I have developed a theory for
cyber crimes and I call it "Space Transition
Theory"+
