CONCEPT PAPER
Identify and define your own research problem by answering the following items.
1.My research problem is:
CYBERCRIME AWARENESS AND CYBERCRIME PREVENTION ATTITUDE OF
CRIMINOLOGY STUDENTS
2.The conditions which give rise to my research question are (present, evidences from service
statistics or related literature that will confirm the existence, seriousness, and contribution to my
problem.
The Philippines was in the midst of an information technology revolution since the year
2000, when the Philippines' E-Commerce Law, also known as Republic Act 8792, was enacted.
Currently, Senator Nancy Binay is pushing for kids to study online ethics, according to a blog
post from rappler Peer Reviewed Journal 21. Binay noted in the interview that the suggestion she
made in instead of passing legislation that would stifle free speech, Senate Resolution 474 wants
to encourage appropriate Internet usage through education (Macaraig, 2013). Regarding moral
principles, privacy, and other conventions that have an impact on a person's overall well-being,
the Philippines is facing a computer ethical conundrum. Various news outlets have reported on
them, including cybersex, pornography, cyberstalking, identity theft, money theft, and similar
things (Verecio, 2016).
3.The ideal situation would have been: (Standard, rule, expected, mandated, recommended)
This backs up research into (National Cyber Security Policy, 2013). To raise knowledge of
cybercrime, the policy intends to introduce a number of national awareness campaigns across the
nation. To combat cybercrimes, the policy advocates for a public-private partnership. The
development of digital technology has altered how we interact socially and conduct business as a
global society. This development has resulted in a greater reliance on technology, greater
interconnectedness, and an increase in criminal opportunities, now referred to as "cybercrime".
This study intends to investigate the views of cybercrime, the experience of victimization, and
the application of online crime prevention techniques.
4.The possible reasons for the discrepancy between 2 and 3.
This further bolsters the study (UNODOC 2013). According to the 2013 Study conducted by
the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODOC), responding countries estimated that
the reporting of cybercrimes to the police by victims was in the range of slightly upwards of 1%.
The proportion of cybercrimes detected through investigation remains very low. In conclusion,
national governments should start public relations initiatives to assist citizens in defending
themselves against online crime. Simple security measures, particularly among young people,
could significantly lower cybercrime. Raising awareness through ongoing media campaigns,
television commercials, and ad hoc websites is one way to accomplish this goal.
5.The following intervention have been done to solve the problem, and the outcomes were: (if
none, say no.)
This demonstrates the study that identifies key levers, including perceived prevalence and
harm of cybercrime, as crucial in the usage of online crime prevention techniques by potential
victims (Journal of Criminology research policy and practice 2019). Thus, in order to lessen
cybervictimization, this study offers a crucial evidence base on which to design more potent
education and awareness programs. This research, which differs from much of the prior research
in that it seeks to better understand how attitudinal factors (perceived prevalence of cybercrime)
might motivate or influence the use of online crime prevention strategies by potential victims
(Drew, J.M. 2020), also shows that it adopts a different perspective. (Brunton 2013) Educational
researchers were celebrating the transformation the Internet had brought to education when the
criminal behavior aided by the anonymity offered by the Internet came to light.
6.The following facts/findings have been reported in related studies about problem. (prepare a
summary of findings of at least 3 recent related studies.)
Cybercrime Awareness Questionnaire. The scale is an Efficacy of Online Learning adopted
from F Alotaibi, S Furnell, I Stenge - 2016 (2016). The tool was composed of 9 items that
measures the levels of cybercrime awareness of criminology students. The tool is 9 items
construct from 5 (Strongly Agree) to 1 (Strongly Disagree). Cybercrime Prevention Attitude.
This questionnaire was adopted from PA Amosun, OA Ige. The tool is composed of 10 items
that measure the Cybercrime Prevention of Criminology students. The tool is a 10- item
construct from 5-Strongly Agree to 1- Strongly Disagree.
7.The following questions about problem, however, still remain un answered:
- What is the level of Cybercrime awareness?
- What is the level of Cybercrime Prevention Attitude?
- Is there a significant relationship between cybercrime awareness and Cybercrime
Prevention Attitude?
