Current Research
Pioneering research at the intersection of cybersecurity and public health
A paradigm-shifting approach that reconceptualizes cybercrime victimization through a public health lens, focusing on prevention, population-level harm reduction, and resilience-building rather than solely on prosecution and technical mitigation.
The Problem
Traditional cybercrime responses focus on criminal justice and technical solutions, failing to address profound human costs: psychological trauma (anxiety, depression, PTSD), physiological stress (sleep disorders, cardiovascular issues), and social harm (stigma, isolation). This research establishes cybercrime as a significant public health issue requiring population-level intervention strategies.
Research Focus Areas
Key Technologies
Expected Impact
- •Development of "Cybercrime Health Impact" screening tool for healthcare professionals
- •Evidence-based public health messaging framework for digital wellness
- •Policy recommendations for integrating victim support into national health services
- •Blueprint for population-level cybercrime harm reduction strategies
Quantitative Analysis
Large-scale survey linking cybercrime victimization to health outcomes using standardized scales
Qualitative Inquiry
In-depth interviews and focus groups with victims, healthcare providers, and communities
Tool Development
