Description: Juvenile cybercrime refers to criminal activities carried out by minors using digital technologies. This phenomenon encompasses a wide range of offenses, from cyberbullying and identity theft to the distribution of illegal content and unauthorized access to computer systems. Young people, being digital natives, often have unprecedented access to technology, enabling them to engage in criminal activities with relative ease. The anonymous nature of the internet and the lack of online supervision can empower minors to participate in delinquent behaviors. Furthermore, juvenile cybercrime not only affects direct victims but can also have legal and social repercussions for young offenders, who may face severe consequences, including criminal charges and damage to their reputation. Education on responsible technology use and promoting a safe digital environment are essential to mitigate this growing issue in today’s society.
