Perceptions of risk in cyberspace

چکیده
This paper reviews the social scientific literature on public perception of risk. We begin with a discussion of the concept of risk and its place in the social sciences.

After this discussion we turn to the issue of trust and risk perception – a concept particularly apposite for the consideration of cyber crime.
