Abstract
The introduction of the internet in 1990s and broadband technologies to less developed nations have created a great information revolution. As there are positive and negative sides of any technology, internet is also not devoid of that. The internet users of the less developed nations are comparatively less aware than their counterparts in the developed nations. The lack of awareness in the usage and lack of knowledge of code of conduct of cyberspace has pushed many to serious victimization, as well as perpetration, as many of them were not aware of copyright and privacy issues of the internet. Empirical studies in cyber crimes are developing and further there is a need to analyze this novel form of crime and its victimization in detail. The present study is an attempt to analyze both the perpetration and victimization pattern of cyber crimes and this study is a micro level study done in Chennai City, India. This study has many limitations and it is only an attempt to bring forward the presence of cyber crime perpetration and victimization issues in India and it provides only descriptive statistics.
