Abstract

The researcher investigated the extent of involvement in Cybercrime activities among students’ in tertiary institutions in Enugu state of Nigeria using cross sectional survey design. Questionnaires were used for data collection. A sample of 175 students was drawn from a population of 18,340 final year students in higher institutions in Enugu State using cluster sampling procedure. The instrument contains 12 items with 4 point scale of Most-times, Sometimes, Seldom and Never. The findings showed that students of higher institutions in Enugu state are involved in cybercrime. It also showed that students’ involvement in cybercrime is dependent on gender and Institution type. The implication of the finding for knowledge and development is that the present level of students’ involvement in cybercrime has a negative effect on the value of education and by extension, has lead to the setback in economic development of the State. It was recommended that government should empower the law enforcement agencies to checkmate and deal with perpetrators of cybercrime.
