Abstract

The intensive and pervasive use of the use of the internet among the youth is an incontrovertible fact. Electronic or cybercrime among the youth has figuratively become endemic beating most security preventive networks and putting online users at the risk of becoming unsuspecting victims. This paper examines students’ Students’ Predisposition to Being a Victim of Internet Crime in Tertiary Institutions of Nigeria. The study employs quantitative research methods, 150 students were selected using multistage sampling procedure. Data were gathered on User’s purpose of using Internet and predisposition to internet Victimization; and Student Socio-economic status and Victimization Experience. Data were analyzed using frequency counts, percentage and correlation analysis. information from the respondents revealed that, students who engaged in online banking had been victimized at least in which their accounts was debited by unknown person without their knowledge/ consent and also, those who engaged in chatting and performing e-business transaction with high social economic status are more susceptible to e-victimization experience, more so, users’ motives of surfing internet are directly related to their vulnerability to victimization experience. Finally, from the study, it was observed that there is positive relationship between individual socio-economic status and their victimization experienced. The study concludes that students who engaged in online banking transaction, both via app, point of sales POS or e-transfer is exposed to fraudsters and more vulnerable to internet fraud experiences therefore recommended that student should try as much as possible not to display wealth or any of their socio-economic information on social media.
尼日利亚高等院校学生成为网络犯罪受害者的倾向
互联网在青少年中的广泛使用是一个不争的事实。青少年中的电子或网络犯罪已成为一种地方性犯罪,打击了大多数安全防范网络,并使在线用户面临成为毫无戒心的受害者的风险。本文调查了尼日利亚高等院校学生成为网络犯罪受害者的倾向。本研究采用定量研究方法,采用多阶段抽样方法抽取150名学生。收集用户使用互联网的目的和网络受害倾向的数据;学生的社会经济地位和受害经历。数据分析采用频率计数、百分比和相关分析。受访者的资料显示,从事网上银行业务的学生,至少曾在不知情/不同意的情况下,被不明人士借记帐户,而从事网上聊天及进行电子商务交易的学生,社会经济地位较高,更容易受到电子受害的影响;此外,用户上网的动机与其易受受害的影响有直接关系。最后,从研究中观察到,个人的社会经济地位与其受害经历之间存在正相关关系。该研究的结论是,通过应用程序、销售点POS或电子转账进行网上银行交易的学生更容易受到欺诈者的攻击,更容易受到网络欺诈的影响,因此建议学生尽可能不要在社交媒体上展示财富或任何社会经济信息。
