This study seeks to examine the prevalence and determinants of cybercrime participation among undergraduate students of mass communication in federal university Lokoja. The ultimate goal is to foster a safer digital environment within the university community while promoting ethical digital practices among students. Using the Edwin Sutherland’s Differential Association Theory and Albert Bandura’s Social Learning Theory which provided a nexus between social/digital interaction and learning/adoption of deviant behavior, the study adopted descriptive survey. The finding shows that 100-level students recorded the highest cybercrime participation rate (72%), followed by 200-level (69%). Findings also revealed that peer influence significantly influences cybercrime participation among students and that the significant influence of peers' financial gains on students' interest in cybercrime, indicate that economic pressure is a key factor. The study therefore recommends among other things, the introduction of mandatory first-year cybersecurity education and increased structured academic engagement to reduce idle time and prevent early student involvement in cybercrime. The study also recommends the integration of compulsory cyber ethics and legal awareness courses across all levels while fostering collaboration among institutions, private sector, and government to provide scholarships that alleviate financial pressures and discourage student involvement in cybercrime.
