description Cybercrime has significantly increased worldwide in the last decades. There has been very little research done regarding cybercrimes in Venezuela in comparison to other places, more specifically in regards to the factors related to online victimization. Thus, this study aims to encourage the analysis on the factors of crime and online victimization in the region. Therefore, a group of variables derived from the routine activity theory (Cohen and Felson 1979), is analyzed. The purpose is to observe its relation to hacking and online harassment in a sample of 308 individuals. This study found a group of variables that could be related to the likelihood of cyber victimization, which will be discussed in empirical, theoretical and practical terms.

En tal sentido, la investigación sobre este fenómeno en Venezuela ha sido escasa, específicamente en lo que respecta a los factores asociados con la victimización en línea. En consecuencia, este estudio busca promover el análisis de los condicionantes del delito y la victimización en línea en la región. Para ello, se investiga un conjunto de variables derivadas de la Teoría de las actividades rutinarias. El propósito es observar su relación con la victimización por hackeo y acoso online en una muestra de 308 sujetos. Este estudio halló un grupo de variables que pueden estar relacionadas con la probabilidad de victimización cibernética, las cuales serán discutidas en términosempíricos, teóricos y prácticos.ABSTRACTCybercrime has significantly increased worldwide in the last decades.
