CRIMINOGENIC BEHAVIOR WITHIN THE ACADEMIC COMMUNITY
Keywords:
Abstract
This article explores the application of criminological theories to understand and mitigate academic dishonesty, with a focus on the outsourcing of assignments in higher education. Drawing on strain theory, social learning theory, the General Theory of Crime, neutralization theory, and control theory, we analyze the multifaceted roots of academic dishonesty. These theories shed light on the pressures, environmental influences, and rationalizations that lead students to engage in outsourcing behaviors. By integrating these criminological insights, the article provides a comprehensive framework for educators and academic institutions to develop targeted interventions. Recommendations include addressing academic strain, fostering a positive learning environment, enhancing self-control and ethical decision-making skills, countering rationalizations for dishonesty, strengthening institutional bonds, enforcing clear policies, and judiciously using technology. Ultimately, the article advocates for a holistic approach to promoting academic integrity, aiming to reduce the incidence of outsourcing and cultivate an ethical academic culture.
