Abstract
Decision-making based on multiple criteria is common in various contexts, recognized for its high complexity in seeking viable solutions. Computer crimes encompass any act with criminal intent that seeks to cause harm or put at risk a legally protected interest using computer tools. This study aims to determine whether residents of Santo Domingo are aware of computer crimes established in Ecuadorian legislation, employing multicriteria evaluation techniques and the TODIM and PROMETHEE methods. These methodologies are complemented by neutrosophic single-value sets, based on neutrosophic logic, to effectively manage the indeterminate and inconsistent information typical in real-world scenarios. In this way, the utility of these techniques for addressing complex problems in daily life and in various social domains is demonstrated.
