Abstract: The internet is one
of the most effective communication tools available, and Indians use the most
internet data worldwide. As industrialization and technical breakthroughs
increased, the realm of cyberspace saw an exponential growth in the potential
and characteristics of the internet. It may be used for both constructive and
negative impact. The distance significantly decreased, and we could now easily
access any far-flung region of the globe. But emerging technology has also
become a vehicle for cybercrime, or violence in cyberspace. Due to their
ambiguity, cybercrimes are very difficult to trace back, which is why criminals
frequently choose to commit them. Cyberspace violence blurs the boundaries of
jurisdiction, and victims become more numerous as a result of ignorance and
unfamiliarity. Women, children, and other vulnerable populations are the
targets of the bulk of cybercrimes. Common instances include financial
exploitation, child grooming, blackmail, and pornography. The Information
Technology Act of 2000 (amended 2008) regulates such offenses. The current
condition of cybercrimes against Madhya Pradesh's women and children will be
discussed in this article. The findings presented in this article are derived
from a research study focused on this topic. Overall, there is a need to
explore the methods of executing cybercrimes and to propose specific measures
to prevent and manage cybercrime targeting women and children in cyberspace.
