The Role of Social Work Intervention in Cyber Crime in India

Abstract: In India, cybercrime is becoming a bigger problem as internet usage and reliance on technology increase. Social work interventions provide a distinct viewpoint by concentrating on the prevention, rehabilitation, and societal effect of cybercrime, even as the criminal justice system has been adjusting to address this contemporary challenge. This essay examines social work’s role in combating cybercrime in India, highlighting the necessity of multidisciplinary strategies, community involvement, and preventative actions. It also looks at different social work approaches that can help fight cybercrime, such as advocacy, education, and psychosocial support. Through a review of the literature, professional interviews, and case studies, this study uses a qualitative research technique to demonstrate the efficacy of social work interventions in this field.
