The research paper investigates the increasing trend of cybercrimes in India due to rapid digitization. It aims to analyze historical cybercrime data (2016–2018) using machine learning techniques to identify trends and predict future crime rates. The study utilizes datasets from Kaggle, applying Power BI for data visualization and predictive analysis. Key findings indicate that states like Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, and Maharashtra report the highest cybercrime cases, with a consistent upward trend. The research highlights the effectiveness of machine learning models in forecasting cybercrime rates and suggests integrating real-time reporting and deep learning for improved accuracy.
