and Security Survey show an upward trend that demonstrates a need for a timely
review of existing approaches to fighting this new phenomenon in the
information age. In this paper, we provide an overview of Cybercrime and

  This work seeks to define the concept of cyber-crime, identify reasons for
cyber-crime, how it can be eradicated, look at those involved and the reasons
for their involvement, we would look at how best to detect a criminal mail and
in conclusion, proffer recommendations that would help in checking the
increasing rate of cyber-crimes and criminals.
