Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Cincinnati, 2011.

Since at least the 1970's there has been speculation about the impact that the development of the internet would have on both the pro-social and the antisocial elements of society. Some authors have speculated that the nature of crime and the rates of crime are likely to change as a result of the ongoing technological revolution. Furthermore, it has been speculated that the technological revolution would affect the role of the police, as well. The present study examines both the preferred and the enacted roles of local law enforcement agencies within the realm of cyberspace. The preferred role of the police was operationalized as the number of complaints an agency received during the 2006 calendar year concerning 20 different types of internet crime. The enacted role of the police was operationalized as the Overall Activity Scale, a summative index representing the number of activities in which an agency reportedly engaging in efforts to control internet crimes. The present study also examined the ability of the tenets of contingency theory to explain the enacted role of local law enforcement agencies as a function of the number of internet crime complaints received.

520 $a Since at least the 1970's there has been speculation about the impact that the development of the internet would have on both the pro-social and the antisocial elements of society. Some authors have speculated that the nature of crime and the rates of crime are likely to change as a result of the ongoing technological revolution. Furthermore, it has been speculated that the technological revolution would affect the role of the police, as well. The present study examines both the preferred and the enacted roles of local law enforcement agencies within the realm of cyberspace. The preferred role of the police was operationalized as the number of complaints an agency received during the 2006 calendar year concerning 20 different types of internet crime. The enacted role of the police was operationalized as the Overall Activity Scale, a summative index representing the number of activities in which an agency reportedly engaging in efforts to control internet crimes. The present study also examined the ability of the tenets of contingency theory to explain the enacted role of local law enforcement agencies as a function of the number of internet crime complaints received.
520 $a Data for the present study were gathered via self-administered questionnaires mailed to the chief administrators of 871 local law enforcement agencies in the state of Ohio. These agencies included 783 municipal police departments and 88 county sheriff agencies. While the response rate for the current study was only 17%, the findings begin the process of examining the role of local law enforcement agencies in policing cyberspace.
520 $a The findings of the present study suggested that a majority of police agencies in the responding sample did in fact receive complaints concerning internet crimes. Furthermore, the study found that the overall levels of activity of local law enforcement agencies in the responding sample were not explained by the number of internet crime complaints received. A multivariate regression analysis was largely un-interpretable due to problems of multicollinearity between the independent variables. However; one independent variable did emerge as a significant predictor of agency scores on the Overall Activity Scale.
