Place management is central to Routine Activities Theory and proactive utilization of place managers is one of 25 Situational Crime Prevention techniques. Yet little is known about the effectiveness of using place managers to prevent cybercrimes. This paper uses a vignette experimental survey of 213 cybersecurity professionals to explore their perceptions of cybercrime prevention. We find that organizations that partner with and proactively utilize cybersecurity professionals as place managers are perceived as more effective in controlling cybercrimes than those organizations that do not specifically assign professionals to proactively prevent and control cybercrimes. We conclude that assigned cyberplace managers are more likely to use their cyber skills and knowledge than those who lack the time and space to utilize their cyber expertise.

场所管理是日常活动理论的核心，场所管理者的主动利用是 25 种情境犯罪预防技术之一。然而，人们对使用场所管理者预防网络犯罪的有效性知之甚少。本文使用对 213 名网络安全专业人员的小插图实验调查来探索他们对网络犯罪预防的看法。我们发现，与没有专门指派专业人员主动预防和控制网络犯罪的组织相比，与网络安全专业人员合作并积极利用其作为场所管理者的组织被认为在控制网络犯罪方面更有效。我们的结论是，与那些缺乏时间和空间来利用其网络专业知识的人相比，指定的网络空间管理员更有可能使用他们的网络技能和知识。
