A Handbook of Cyber Laws and Information Technology in India: For Students of 3 Years LL.B/LL.B(H), 5 Years Integrated B.A./B.B.A./B.Com., LL.B(H) Courses under Gauhati University

Information Technology deals with information system, data storage, access, retrieval, analysis and intelligent decision making. It refers to the creation, gathering, processing, storage, presentation and dissemination of information and also the processes and devices that enable all this to be done. The misuse of the technology has created the need for the enactment and implementation of Cyber Laws. Today, computers play a major role in almost every crime that is committed. Citizens should not be under the impression that cybercrime is vanishing and they must realize that with each passing day, cyberspace becomes a more dangerous place to be in, where criminals roam freely to execute their criminal intentions encouraged by the so-called anonymity that the internet provides.

‘A Handbook of Cyber Laws and Information Technology in India’ presents the complicated provisions of Cyber Laws in a simplified and concise manner. An attempt has been made to make the study of the subject simple, need-based and sequential. This book has been designed considering the model syllabus of Gauhati University for 3 Years LL.B/ LL.B (H), 5 Years Integrated B.A./B.B.A./B.Com., LL.B(H) courses. Topics of Information Technology Law and Computer Application, IT Offences, Cyber Crime and Security as prescribed for students of law are duly covered in the book.
