Abstract :
This research paper examines the trends and comparative analysis of registered cyber-crimes across Rajasthan and its neighbouring states—Gujarat, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh—from 2012 to 2021. Rajasthan, a prominent state in India, has witnessed rapid digital growth alongside its traditional socio-economic development. However, this growth has also brought an increase in cyber-crimes. The study utilizes secondary data analysis to explore the annual variations in both the absolute numbers and percentages of cyber-crimes reported. Descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and Tukey`s HSD tests are employed to analyze the differences in cyber-crime prevalence among the states. Findings reveal significant disparities in cyber-crime rates, with Rajasthan consistently showing a higher prevalence compared to most neighbouring states. Uttar Pradesh emerges as particularly vulnerable, reporting the highest percentage of cyber-crimes. These results underscore the need for tailored regional strategies to enhance cyber security measures and mitigate the growing threat of cyber-crimes across the studied states.
