Preventive solutions to prevent social harm from cybercrime

In today's world, cyberspace is known as one of the most important parts of our lives. However, improper use of cyberspace can cause serious harm to families and increase addiction to social networks, reduce family relationships, and increase computer crimes. The main purpose of this research is to investigate preventive strategies for the occurrence of social harm in computer crimes, which is written in a descriptive and analytical manner. The results showed that cyberspace crimes are activities in which computers, telephones, home equipment, and other technological facilities are used for illegitimate purposes such as fraud, theft, electronic vandalism, violation of individual property rights, sexual abuse of women and children, and breaking and entering computer systems and networks. One of the ways to socially confront cybercrime is situational prevention, which is a type of non-criminal or proactive prevention that emphasizes the situation, location, time, and place of the crime, in such a way that it becomes difficult for the criminal to commit a crime, or the opportunity to commit a crime is taken away from him, or the risk of his identification and arrest increases. Also, one of the solutions to reduce cybercrime damage is to increase citizens' knowledge and awareness of crime prevention in this regard, and education is considered the best way to control damage. Therefore, it is necessary to explain cyberspace and provide the necessary and essential solutions to prevent crime in cyberspace for social policy-making by citizens for the healthy use of cyberspace and reducing the number of users becoming victims.
