Abstract
In addition to creating new opportunities, the quick development of digital technologies has led to an increase in cybercrime, which has an impact on people, companies, and governments. Online fraud, identity theft, cyber bullying, hacking, and human trafficking are all considered forms of cybercrime. Significant social, psychological, and financial repercussions result from these offences. Social work intervention is essential in assisting victims, promoting preventive policies, and promoting digital literacy in light of the rising incidence of cybercrime. This essay examines the relationship between social work and cybercrime, looking at how social workers may lessen its effects through community involvement, education, policy lobbying, and counselling. It also identifies the difficulties social workers encounter while dealing with cybercrime and offers solutions to improve their efficacy in the digital age.
Keywords: Cybercrime, Social Work, Digital Literacy, Online Safety, Cyber bullying.
