    Psychology/Motivation of Crackers
    Josh · 2/6/00 at 5:01 am ET

    I need some help locating resources.

    I am taking a forensic psychology class to finish up my psych degree, and I am doing a research paper on the psychology/motivations behind the behaviors of computer crackers (more often refered to as hackers).

    I have found a lot of information coming out of the computer science field and the "hacking community", but I cannot locate anything on this topic coming out of the psychology field. I'm sure it exists, and I'm just not looking in the right place.

    If any of you know of any information on this topic, coming from the psych field, please let me know.
