Abstract

The growing use of the internet has provided a conducive platform for miscreants to engage in the misuse of information and communication technology (ICT). It has resulted in a potential threat to individuals in terms of cybercrimes. In general, cybercrimes are increasing at a rapid pace in India. The most vulnerable group targeted in cybercrimes in India has been women and girls. Using purposive sampling method for the selection of sample, this study focuses on cybercrimes against women in India and their impact on the victims. Awareness about cybercrimes is minimal. Historically, women have been subjected to various kinds and forms of discrimination and crimes, the newest being cybercrimes. Results exhibit that computer literacy is higher among males than females, which is a factor in women being more vulnerable to cybercrimes. The suppression of cybercrimes affects the victim psychologically through depression, fear, anxiety, and withdrawal from cyberspace. To overcome these kinds of effects, victims often share the situation they have faced with friends, close acquaintances, and family members.

印度针对妇女的网络犯罪的社会学研究:解读原因并评估对受害者的影响
互联网的日益普及,为不法分子滥用资讯及通讯科技提供了有利的平台。就网络犯罪而言,这对个人造成了潜在的威胁。总的来说,印度的网络犯罪正在快速增长。在印度,最容易受到网络犯罪攻击的群体是妇女和女孩。本研究采用有目的的抽样方法进行样本的选择,重点研究针对印度妇女的网络犯罪及其对受害者的影响。人们对网络犯罪的认识很少。历史上,女性一直遭受各种形式的歧视和犯罪,最新的是网络犯罪。结果显示,男性的计算机素养高于女性,这是女性更容易受到网络犯罪侵害的一个因素。对网络犯罪的抑制通过抑郁、恐惧、焦虑和退出网络空间等方式对受害者产生心理影响。为了克服这些影响,受害者经常与朋友、熟人和家人分享他们所面临的情况。
