Taylor University Cybercrime jurisdiction Questions

 

Brenner and Koops (2004), stated “Cybercrime is a primary example of cross-border crime, and so, it raises the issue of jurisdiction. This is a tricky issue. Acts on the Internet that are legal in the state where they are initiated may be illegal in other states, even though the act is not particularly targeted at that state. Jurisdiction conflicts abound, both negative (no state claims jurisdiction) and positive (several states claim jurisdiction at the same time)”

Their research asks the following questions in terms of jurisdiction when cybercrime is committed:

  1. Is it the place of the act?
  2. Is it the country of residence of the perpetrator?
  3. Is it the location of the effect?
  4. Is it the nationality of the owner of the computer that is under attack?
  5. Or all of these at once?

Who do you think should have jurisdiction of the crime to prosecute?Note (3 to 4 Pages)
