Evolution and Challenges in Global Jurisdictions Legal Frameworks

Abstract

The rapid evolution of the technological process and globalization have led to the fact that the legal systems of various countries of the world have faced new challenges, namely, in the investigation of cybercrime. Due to the internet, mobile phones and e-commerce, national laws are increasingly becoming helpless in combating transnational crimes. This essay explores the evolution, and challenges relating to cybercrime laws in some foreign jurisdictions. It highlights the variation in legal frameworks by contradicting rules, technological variation and cultural diversity. Nonetheless, it has failed to reach a unity in the cyberspace security law; therefore, at times, cross-border cooperation is suffocated by the differences in the meaning of law and politics. Technological deficiency and a sluggish international legal system pose as challenges to the investigators. The paper recommends the integration of legal systems in all our global locations as a means of enhancing the combating of cybercrime and also laying stress on the importance of international collaboration, legislative changes, technological advancement and increased training of the law enforcement authorities. With the battle against cybercrime and other Internet-related crimes still in progress, nations must coordinate their laws, technological advancements and enhance collaboration across borders in order to ensure that the cyberspace becomes a safer environment.
