Statics on Cyber Crimes and Cyber Laws in India: A Study
Main Article Content
Abstract
In no legislation or regulation, the term “cybercrime” is defined. Anything having to do with computers, information technology, the internet, or virtual reality is referred to as “cyber”. As a consequence, “cyber-crimes” are now classified as crimes committed using computers, information technology, the internet, or virtual reality. The virtual environment of the internet is known as cyberspace, and the rules that govern it are known as cyber laws. Because they have a type of universal jurisdiction, these laws apply to all netizens of this area. “Cyber law is a discipline of law concerned with legal concerns that arise from the use of networked information technology. Cyber law, in a nutshell, rules computers and the internet. Cyber law is important because it touches almost all aspects of transactions and activities that occur on or involving the internet, the World Wide Web, and cyberspace. Every online activity and response has legal and cyber law consequences.” This paper will study the topic of cybercrime and cyber laws in India by analysing the statics of reported cyber- crime cases and by using major legislative provisions and case law.
