Criminal Law in India and Cybercrimes: Problems and New Perspectives

Dr Manoj Kumar Sadual

Abstract: As a center for information technology, India is also growing into a significant location where cybercrimes against innocent users of new technologies are becoming more commonplace on a daily basis. In such circumstances, it becomes imperative to defend citizens' rights against lawbreakers who prey on the gullibility of the general public. The cyber world has caused all technology solutions to evolve to the point where there is now a generational divide between those who have grown up with these and those who have not. India has a widening gap between its rich and poor populations, as well as greater than average levels of poverty and poor education. Consequently, for these reasons, the generation gap widens even further. As a result, it is the duty of both legislators and law enforcement to establish effective legal frameworks to handle cybercrimes that occur in virtual environments, which are very challenging to police using physical means. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to evaluate the legislative structure and determine how effective it is at regulating cybercrimes in India.
