can anyone help me with this abstract* ?
Overall comments: the very high-level academic language used in this abstract makes it difficult to correct. You have done very well to come so close, but nonetheless, many of the sentences don't make sense and in some cases I am not sure I have correctly understood what you are trying to say. My recommendation would be to rewrite it in much simpler sentences. While I realise you want to use the same academic language used in most abstracts, I would suggest that clarity is more important and your abstract will be better if you set your sights lower.

The present document is intended to perform a brief study of virtual and cybernetic crimes. It presents concepts and definitions in this document of virtual crime: these in turn, it is harmful conduct, practised** in the virtual environment and also known merely as the Internet. This permits a clear and objective understanding of these crimes. In addition to a brief survey, which aims to show the level of public knowledge about these crimes and how they act in these situations, it describes the laws and/or regulations that govern these activities, seeking to clarify the matter here discussed****=At least I think that's what you mean...? https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~koopman/essays/abstract.html
**=I have corrected the c to an s in this word because in the UK we spell the verb with an s. In the US you would need to write "practiced"
***"the matter here discussed" sounds a bit too vague. Consider revising to "the current situation" or "the scope of the problem" or "the nature of the challenges faced by policy-makers" or something more specific like that.
