线下，犯罪和由此造成的受害并不是个别事件。它还受到它所在社区的阻碍或鼓励。社区特征与网络受害行为相关吗？本文调查了基于Craigslist的(汽车)诈骗在美国30个城市的流行情况。我们的方法分析了历史诈骗数据及其与暴露于欺诈性广告的社区的经济、结构和文化特征的关系。我们发现Craigslist诈骗不是随机的，而是针对特定社区的。由此产生的政策洞察力是为了创建针对受过教育的白人男性的公共意识运动，因为他们是最脆弱的。
Offline, crime and resulting victimization is not individual incidence. It is also hampered or encouraged by the community in which it is situated. Are community characteristics relevant for victimization online? This paper examines the prevalence of Craigslist-based (automobile) scams across 30 American cities. Our methodology analyses historical scam data and its relationship with economic, structural, and cultural characteristics of the communities that are exposed to fraudulent advertising. We find that Craigslist scams are not random, but targeted towards specific communities. The resulting policy insight is for creating public awareness campaigns addressing educated white males, as they are the most vulnerable.
