Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The deter-and-disrupt model and the caring security culture model are complementary stages of a single criminological architecture, not alternatives.

    “Following Wortley's extension of situational crime prevention, the two models are positioned not as alternatives but as complementary stages of a single criminological architecture.”

  • SCP is best understood as operating at two causal stages: the manipulation of opportunity structures once motivation exists, and the control of environmental precipitators that shape whether motivation develops in the first place.

    “Following Wortley's extension of situational crime prevention, SCP is best understood as operating at two causal stages: the manipulation of opportunity structures once motivation exists, and the control of environmental precipitators that shape whether motivation develops in the first place [14, 54].”

    From Geopolitical competition, online radicalisation, and organisational culture as vectors of the evolving insider threat (2026) · cites this paper as [54]

  • Wortley argues that SCP underestimates the role of motivational precipitators, which are environmental conditions that not only permit but actively provoke offending.

  • The integrated framework advances SCP theory by treating insider threat as a hybrid category in which structural controls and the cultural conditions surrounding them must be addressed in parallel rather than sequentially.

  • This vector challenges the rational choice assumptions of classical SCP, since fixated individuals may not engage in bounded cost-benefit calculation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
