ABSTRACT:
The objective of the present paper research is to explore some of the basic aspects of the relationship between cyber-deviant behaviors and the role of border security and cyber security structures that exist in the cyber-digitalization process. The present article intersects diagonal aspects of deviant cyberculture and the role of media and police officers in the screening and prevention of criminal extreme acts. The research also provides a reflective view of consumerism that digitalization brings to the constant formation of adolescents. The implementation of misguided protection strategies and consumer safety from hazardous navigation directly affects the growth of passive and active criminality, qualitative changes in attitudes and behavior by pointing more towards antisocial deviance and crawling at the base ranging from national and regional security and internet addiction.

KEY WORDS: cyberdeviance, Western Balkans, suitable structures, prevention, ICT.
