ABSTRACT
The Internet is not only a source of information but a medium that connects almost every
aspect of our life. The Internet is a place of great ease and infinite connectivity, but also a
place of great vulnerability. In a world of the internet, we live through infinitely complex
virtual networks, barely able to trace where our information is coming from and going and
thus posing a threat not only to our lives but also to the lives of our children. The digital
world plays an immense role in the day-to-day activities of 21st-century children. The U.S.
National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health (NIH) reports teens between the
ages of 8 and 28 to spend about 44.5 hours a week in front of a digital screen, according to
another report 23 per cent of kids have reported that they feel that they are addicted to video
games. As the younger generation is growing more and more tech-savvy and dependent on
the internet, they are being exposed to the various malicious side of the internet.
Keywords: Cybercrime, Juvenile, cyber pornography, cyber suicide, digital piracy,

I. INTRODUCTION
The act of a person who has an illegal impact on society as a whole is a crime. This feature of
all tort makes it a crime. The club will file a proceeding against the criminal because it appears
to have been done against the club. Whenever an illegal act is committed using information and
communication technology, it is called a cybercrime. We as a society are getting a era pushed
society with new technology being invented day through day. Our communications are getting
faster and cheaper, our financial transactions are getting easier, and our business is booming
with new software that speeds up our business. With the advent of new technologies like
artificial intelligence, these whole structures are moving to new heights. As we move into a
virtual world, we become more vulnerable to the various threats that come with technological
advancements. These threats related to technological development are the reason for the
development of the cybercrime concept. The term cybercrime has nowhere been defined under
Indian law but the INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ACT, 2000 and information technology
amendment act of 2008 deals with various types of cybercrimes and rules governing them.
