Abstract
In the dynamic digital landscape, cyberspace presents opportunities and risks, necessitating robust protection against unscrupulous activities. This descriptive-correlational study focuses on online virtual property crime awareness and legal issues in China to enhance safeguarding measures. The study aims to profile respondents, assess online virtual property crime awareness, explore legal issues, identify differences across demographic groups, and establish relationships between awareness and legal issues. The research involves 305 participants, including college students, teachers, unemployed individuals, public institution staff, government personnel, enterprise workers, and business professionals who have encountered online virtual property crimes. The findings show that most respondents are male, aged 18-39, undergraduates, and college students. They moderately engage in virtual property, primarily within online gaming, typically trading 500-200 yuan worth of virtual currency. Respondents exhibit high awareness of online virtual property crimes, information sources, and protection mechanisms but express strong concerns about the effectiveness of legal protection for infringed or cheated online virtual property. Significant differences in awareness and legal issues exist among different demographic groups, and a notable relationship emerges between awareness and legal issues. The study's outcomes inform the proposal of enhanced protection strategies for online virtual property.
