This study provide a significant towards. This study was conducted in Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Shah Alam among Computer Science students from Faculty of Computer and Mathematical Science due to several justification that relevant to the research. From the findings, the result stated that thefactor that gives the major impact towards behavioural intention towards cybercrime is student attitude itself rather than perceived behavioural control and subjective norm. Finally, some recommendations provided in the research for a future purpose in order to enhance the research. |
