“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.”
From Geopolitical competition, online radicalisation, and organisational culture as vectors of the evolving insider threat (2026) · cites this paper as [54]
In the citing paper
“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]
In the citing paper
“Wortley argues that SCP underestimates the role of motivational precipitators, which are environmental conditions that not only permit but actively provoke offending [54]”
From Geopolitical competition, online radicalisation, and organisational culture as vectors of the evolving insider threat (2026) · cites this paper as [54]
In the citing paper
“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 [54].”
From Geopolitical competition, online radicalisation, and organisational culture as vectors of the evolving insider threat (2026) · cites this paper as [54]
In the citing paper
“This vector challenges the rational choice assumptions of classical SCP, since fixated individuals may not engage in bounded cost-benefit calculation [54].”

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.
