Technology creates a considerable overlap between victim and offender interactions and changes the way they interact. Because of technology it has allowed offenders to move to different modes of crimes. The new forms of crimes are digitized whilst the old one were not. Victims and offenders share risk factors like low self-control, routine activities or a risky life-style and socio-demographics. Also, just an individuals daily routine whether it be online and offline. Which can directly effect offenders and victimization and because their activities overlap the terms can be switched. Because individuals who participate in high risk lives and associate themselves with delinquent people have more of a chance to be victimized or more of an opportunity to commit a criminal act. In cyber crimes some victims may not realize that they may have become an offender in their rage and retaliations. Also, they do not realize how easy it is to become an offender with actions such as digital piracy. This may be due to them learning their skills from friends who make it seem harmless such as, hacking into gaming accounts to steal virtual objects or credits. Although, most of the time offenders are seen to have to learn the skills needed in order to commit the act, such as manipulation of computer hardware and software via malicious software. But most of it is prevented some by having enough technological space to download protections from being victimized. This allows for individuals to know when their social sites and other devices have been compromised. But if an individual gains enough skills in cybersecurity it may go one of two ways. One of which is that they have enough skills to create efficient protection from becoming a victim, or they may have developed enough skills to engage in cyber dependent crimes.
