Routine activity theory (RAT) states that crime as an event occurs when three conditions are met: A motivated offender is present, a suitable target is available, and there is no capable guardian present to prevent the crime. As online shopping increases exponentially, so does the number of targets and therefore the number of offenders. I don’t think the media  and social norms do enough to provide guardianship, and so all three conditions are going up in numbers. Social media is designed to capture our attention and generate dopamine, creating a sense of happiness and security. It is also easier for older generations to trust online sellers and not be versed in the warning signs of scams and how to procure legitimate goods from the manufacturer.
