Abstract:

Human society has continually evolved throughout history, from ancient times to the present day. The emergence of the Internet, Artificial Intelligence, and various dynamic social media technologies has significantly transformed our globalized world. This qualitative research article, based on both primary and secondary data, explores the complex nature of cyber society, with a particular emphasis on Cyber- Crime, Cyber-security, Cyber-Culture, and internet addiction, especially among children in the Lucknow region of Uttar Pradesh. The intersection of crime and internet technology has nurtured the rise of Cyber-Crime, particularly among children. In the digital realm, Cyber-Culture not only shapes societal interactions but also creates an environment that fosters Cyber-Crime through digital technology and the internet. When internet devices are used as tools or mediums for committing crimes, these acts are classified as Cyber-Crimes. Cyber-Crimes, ranging from hacking to online fraud, leverage the ever-evolving technological landscape. Deviations from traditional norms within Cyber-Culture often lead to both conventional and cyber-specific criminal behaviours, highlighting issues of Juvenile Delinquency and the importance of Netiquettes.
