A Study on Cyber-Crime Awareness Among Students in Chhattisgarh

Abstract

The current study's objective is to ascertain students' awareness of cybercrime in the Chhattisgarh region. In the world we live in, technology is now required in every aspect of life from house hold work to running a multinational company and national security. Although technology makes life easier, there are risks associated with it, such as cybercrime (fraud, assault, bullying, sexual harassment, phishing). Students must understand that cyber security awareness is necessary to prevent any kind of cyber-crime. For understanding the cyber-awareness among Students of Chhattisgarh we collected data from Pt. Ravishankar Shukla University in Raipur. The cyber-crime awareness scale created by Dr. S. Rajasekar (2011) was used to test students' awareness of cybercrime using a questionnaire-based survey method. In this study, student demographic information (gender, location) is taken into account when measuring understanding of cyber-threats. . The hypothesis is tested using the t-test. The results show that although male and female students' knowledge of cybercrime is not statistically different, there is a significant difference between students in rural and urban locations.
