Abstract
Cyber-crimes have become the most popular and rising threat to the world. There is a high risk of cyber victimization when the person using the internet is not having the basic cyber security knowledge to fight this menace. For this purpose a research based survey to assess the level of knowledge, awareness and perception of cyber-crimes among lawyers, law and computer science students are conducted. By knowing the level of awareness, perception and knowledge of lawyers, law and CS students, it can be easily concluded that if the awareness level of lawyers and law students is not up to the level, of how to protect themselves in the online spaces then what can be expected of others. It is providing evidence that there is a need to legislate on cyber security. This study shows that there is a significant association between awareness and perception, awareness and knowledge, perception and awareness, perception, awareness and knowledge, awareness, perception with gender, awareness perception with age, awareness perception with occupation and education level. Results from this study shows that males are more aware than female. Respondents in age group 20-30 are less aware than others while those with increased experience, high education level and those who have studied this subject i.e. students of computer science have shown more awareness about cyber-crimes than lawyers and law students.
