Cybercrime in Morocco
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Computer Science & Applications - Year 2019, Vol 10, Issue 4
Abstract
Cybercrime encompasses all illegal actions and facts that target cyberspaces and cause enormous economic and financial damages to organizations and individuals. A cyberspace is essentially composed of digital information as well as its store and communication instruments/platforms. To remedy this phenomenon, attention has focused particularly on both computer security and legislation in an area where the human behavior is also decisive. Social psychology has well defined the concept of behavior and also studied its relations with the attitude in human action. This paper aims to broaden the scope of cybercrime to also discuss marginal phenomena which do not attract enough attention but could easily be converted to digital criminals once circumstances become appropriate. The main objective of this work is the study of the ‘human’-‘digital world’ interactivity in a specific geographical area or precisely the study of the human behavior towards digital crimes. The proposed study targets young people of a small Moroccan city that is in the south of the country central region and constitutes its global economy barycenter. The study dealt specifically with a sample of Moroccan young living in El Jadida city that coincidentally contains individuals from other Moroccan cities which enriched this study more.
