69(4), Oct-Dec, 2022: p.31-42 The internet has brought people closer, but it has also resulted in various cybercrimes, which can cause mental disturbances in victims. Assessing the psychological effects of cybercrimes is as important as it is for any other crime. However, the techniques used for assessing victims of cybercrimes are different from those used for common crimes like murder or domestic violence. Misusing personal information, identity theft, pornography, cyber extortion, and cyber stalking can cause mental disorders such as depression, PTSD, anxiety, and even schizophrenia. It is critical to view cybercrimes from a psychological and forensic perspective to understand their implications on victims. More research is needed to study the psychological effects of cybercrimes. This article focuses on cybercrimes, their psychological impact on human behaviour and the neglected area of cybercrimes’ implications on mental health.- Reproduced Cybercrimes The Indian Police Journal 240513
