Abstract
Increasingly, 'cyber-crime' is becoming recognised as a serious problem requiring the attention of governments, law enforcement agencies and the justice systems of countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Jurisdictions that already have highly developed computing and digital communications infrastructures have, over the last decade or so, been forced to confront the expansion of criminality into the cyberworld and to evaluate the adequacy of existing legal systems to deal with this phenomenon. Other countries developing their information technology systems from a less advanced base are similarly forced to evaluate the adequacy of their legal systems to ensure the transnational investment and cooperation required for such development.
