Cyber Crime and Intervention of Professional Social Work

Abstract Cybercrime has become a growing concern in the digital age, affecting individuals, organizations, and society at large. The intervention of professional social work in addressing cybercrime is crucial, as it extends beyond legal aspects to include psychological, social, and rehabilitative support for victims and offenders. This paper explores the role of social workers in cybercrime intervention, focusing on prevention, victim assistance, rehabilitation, and policy advocacy. By integrating social work principles with digital safety measures, a more humane and effective approach to combating cybercrime can be achieved.
