This research aims at investigating the effectiveness of technical and legal
awareness in facing the cybercrimes and mitigation their effects among Hebron
University (HU) students. The researchers depended on the quasi-experimental
methodology (one group) using pre-test and post-test. The study sample included
a stratified sample of 76 students from HU who enrolled in a technology
applications course in the academic year 2018/2019. The study concluded that
there are statistically significant differences in the mean of the pre-test and posttest related to the technical and legal awareness among HU students, in favor for
the post-test experiment. This indicates that the awareness program applied in
raising the level of technical and legal knowledge among HU students to reduce
cybercrime was effective with an impact of 0.62 for the applied technical
awareness and 0.14 for the applied legal awareness. The researchers recommend
leveraging the level of legal and technical awareness in cybercrimes by launching
training programs on the level of government and the local society. They also
recommend to update the school curricula to include sufficient material about the
topic, and hold workshops and training sessions in the field.
