Cybercrime Detection and Prevention: A Human Centric Approach

Cybercrime has become one of the most serious challenges in the digital era. With the rapid growth of the internet, cloud computing, mobile devices and online services, criminals are continuously finding new ways to exploit systems, steal data and harm individuals as well as organizations. This research paper focuses on cybercrime detection and prevention using a human centric and practical approach.

Instead of relying only on automated systems, this paper highlights the importance of combining technology, human awareness, policies and ethical practices. The study discusses various types of cybercrimes, modern detection techniques, effective prevention strategies, existing challenges and future research directions.

Simple explanations and illustrative diagrams are incorporated to make the concepts easy to understand, improve cybersecurity awareness, and provide an effective reference for students, researchers, and practitioners.
