| Abstract | The paper describes the preliminary methodological outcomes and findings from a long-term, exploratory research program on cybercrime countermeasures designed to isolate behavioral or demographic correlates associated with public acceptance or rejection. Specifically, the study is assessing the differential magnitude of cyber threat awareness, as well as the differential perceptions of the threat among different subgroups in the American populace. In other words, how would different segments of the American public (e.g., men, women, ethnic groups, economic class, computer users versus non-computer users) respond to the idea of cybercrime countermeasures of varying scope and intensity? The study outcomes will empirically demonstrate the strength of general public support for government-sanctioned and controlled cybercrime countermeasures and will ascertain the social, economic, or demographic variables that may influence differential public opinion. In the final analysis, the research will provide a data-based approach for beginning efforts to navigate the balance between complex cyber security needs and public fears about "Big Brother" trampling on their civil liberties (as was evidenced after the Patriot Act was signed into law). A long-term goal of the research is to develop a behavioral rating scale that isolates personal, demographic, and related "ecological" variables that contribute to favorable or non-favorable views of Cybercrime countermeasures. The final product will be a well-conceptualized and carefully-constructed behavioral rating scale that meets acceptable standards of scientific rigor. The significance of the problem is clear to the cyber community, but how is it perceived by the public-at-large? The problem has salient implications for the United States related to American politics, national defense capability, cybercrime and terror responses, communication systems and networks, energy, surveillance and GPS tracking systems, and homeland security. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
