Abstract: Cybercrime, also
known as computer crime, is considered to be any crime that uses a computer and
a computer network. Cybercrime involves several criminal offenses and
activities. As issues revolving around cybercrime have become more complex and
little is known about cybercrime in general, students’ perceptions need to be
explored from the perspectives of internet security and software progressions
to detect criminal behavior since they are the most exposed group in
technology. This study aims to explore their perceptions of this new form of
aggression. This quantitative study uses a survey as a method of collecting
data by recruiting 100 university students through random sampling. Data were
analyzed using SPSS for the frequency, Pearson correlation, and multiple
regression analysis. Results of this study indicate that there was a positive
relationship between student perceptions on security and software progressions
in cybercrime. In a nutshell, it is important for the stakeholders to focus on
perception as a method to decrease, foresee or prevent cybercrime, and a
campaign or seminar is needed to educate university students as well as schools
and colleges about cyber ethics.
