Abstract: The last decade has witnessed rapid developments in the field of information technology, leading to far-reaching changes in almost all areas of life. Cybercrime has continued to grow over the years as new crimes have been introduced into the deep Internet. The trend in recent attacks around the world has shown how diverse the perpetrators are and what they can do. The impact on organizations around the world cannot be emphasized. Cyber laws have also been incorporated over the years to be implemented at various levels and jurisdiction. The trend has called for attacks and the growing need among culprits for concerns about what cybercrime laws have done to curb growing crime. In this research, we will look at cybercrime and cyber laws in order to be able to make laws more effective and apply them in preventing more cybercrime.
