Theory Summary

Deterrence theory

Deterrence theory (DT) is originally a term used in psychology and criminology, and it is

used to provide a model for understanding human thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Erickson,

Gibbs, and Jensen (1977, p. 305) stated that, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX. Additionally, the literature reveals that,

the more severe a punishment, it is thought, the more likely that a rationally calculating human

being will desist from criminal acts. In criminology, “the concept of deterrence is used to

describe the prevention of criminal behavior through the use of, or by the threat of, legal

sanctions” (Meier & Johnson, 1977, p. 293)

According to D'arcy and Herath (2011, p. 488), deterrence theory is “one of the most

widely applied theories in information systems (IS) security research, particularly within

behavioral IS security studies”.
