WHAT IS CRIME? Crime is an integral part of the risks we face in
everyday life.
In both scholarly and public opinion crime is associated with harm and violence; harm to individuals, destruction of property, and the denial of respect to people and institutions.
Crime is an act forbidden by law and which is at the same time revolting to the moral sentiments of the society.

CYBER CRIME
Criminal activities which take place in ‘virtual’ space using networked technologies. They cut across national boundaries, which has implications for law enforcement and punishment.
Cyber crimes can involve criminal activities that are traditional in nature, such as theft, fraud, forgery, defamation and mischief, all of which are subject to the Indian Penal Code.
The abuse of computers has also given birth to a gamut of new age crimes that are addressed by the Information Technology Act, 2000.
We can categorize Cyber crimes in two ways:
