Abstract
Crimes involving computers and networks are
referred to as cybercrimes or computer-related crimes. Due to economic
downturns or recessions, university undergraduates are drawn into cybercrime.
Cybercrime is a socio-phenomenological activity that serves as a tool for information,
enjoyment, personal growth, and the pursuit of financial gain. The research is
a descriptive survey. The study's goal is to investigate the effects of
cybercrime on university freshmen's academic performance. Using an online
questionnaire, a cross-sectional survey of Faculty of Education students was
carried out. 207 undergraduate students from the Faculty of Education made up
the study's sample size. Among other things, the findings indicate that
undergraduates view cybercrime as a tool for personal growth. It was noted that
a lot of effort needed to be done to guarantee a network environment that was
trustworthy, safe, and secure. This suggests that in order for undergraduates
to be more valuable in life, they should be forced to adopt a value reorientation.
The outcome should open professors' and students' eyes to the more constructive
ways of using online services to take advantage of the globalized environment
without necessarily abusing them.
