| Abstract | This review analyzes the intricate relationship between generational differences, digital literacy, and the fear of cybercrime—a growing threat driven by greater internet access and reliance on digital technologies. Distinct generational disparities in digital literacy significantly impact how individuals perceive and respond to cyber threats. Younger individuals, while generally technologically adept, may lack essential skills for evaluating online risks, whereas older generations, although more prudent, often find adapting to new technologies challenging. Psychological aspects, including previous victimization and perceived vulnerabilities, heavily influence fear levels, with women consistently demonstrating greater fear than men, influenced by societal expectations. The review discusses strategies to enhance digital literacy and reduce cybercrime fear, emphasizing customized educational approaches for various age groups, including community workshops, school integration, and online resources. Effective collaboration among law enforcement, educational institutions, and the private sector is vital for promoting cybersecurity awareness and developing comprehensive preventative measures. Key components include joint educational initiatives, community awareness campaigns, and tailored cybersecurity curricula. Continuous research is essential for monitoring trends, refining strategies, and assessing program impacts, underscoring the need for further exploration into emerging technologies and the effects of socio-economic factors on technology access. Cultivating a culture of cybersecurity awareness is critical for ensuring a safer digital environment for all. |
