The Indian Police JournalSummary: In today's technological era, the risk of cybercrimes often lingers on everyone. Often this risk causes fear amongst cyber users and affects their behaviour in the cyber world or virtual world. The frequency of cyber stalking and hacking is increasing day by day. It creates huge fear in public just because we are connected with the internet or the cyber world for completing any task. This study has used a survey to find out the trend of fear amongst cyber users, the reasons behind this fear and the consequences of the fear. The respondents were asked about their demographic details, their experiences of victimization, their knowledge/aptitude of computers, the frequency and usage of the internet, their behavioural responses, and frequency of the previous victimization if any, or secondary victimization. Numerous studies regarding fear of cybercrime victimization have been conducted in other countries but very few studies have been conducted in India. This study tries to make a foray into this area which is important and bears consequences to most people.-Reproduced
