Fear of cybercrime and the compliance with information security policies
Jaffar Ahmad Alalwan · 2018
While crimes and cybercrimes have huge impact on both individuals and societies, we argue that the functional effect of cybercrime fear can play a significant role on adhering to the organizational security policy. The purpose of this paper is to set the stage for examining the influence of cybercrime fear on the employees' adherence to information security policies. Based on the fear of crime literature and the theory of planned behavior, we propose a model that integrates the fear of crime dimension from psychology and crime literature, with the adherence to information security policies.
