This study has been conducted to examine the characteristics and the influence of cyber delinquency. On the basis of adolescent panels, we have examined the relationship between individual, family and environmental factors. Cyber delinquency is deeply related with sex, aggression, intensity of the wrongdoing as a group, and self regulation. Considering the factors that influence cyber delinquency, the rate of cyber crime increased with aggressiveness and the extent of the collective cyber crime rate. Furthermore, in the case of cyber club membership, cyber delinquency rate was higher when not a member, and when the support of a school teacher was lower. Unlike previous studies, family factors were unidentified. Today, raising sound-minded children is the responsibility of the times; it is the duty of the family, school, society, as well as the government to prevent the misdemeanors and deviations of the children and guide them to a right direction. Cyber space is steadily increasing, and its participation is on a very wide range. Considering this fact, we must recognize that on the basis of anonymity, indiscreet indulgence, such as misconduction and eccentricity can increase in a very individual and self-centered cyber space. Thus, to prevent problems during adolescence, the development of a school-home connected program is vital. Also, as preventive measures, adolescents must first be informed of sound internet mores. Second, we must create a play environment suitable for them. Third, we must help them understand the concept of cyber crime. Last, media education proper for adolescents is also necessary.
