In line with the approach of common law jurisdictions, in particular the United Kingdom and Singapore as well as the Cybercrime Convention 2001, the research will examine the problems of substantive law, specifically the provisions that may be inadequate to cover certain cybercrimes such as distributed denial of service and the provisions that may in fact cover too wide an area of conduct. Also, from the theoretical level, philosophical issues involved in cybercrime, in particular the problem of identifying legal interests and emerging legal interests will be examined.
