Abstract: This paper investigates the global ramifications of cybercrime and underscores the essential role of effective cybercrime legislation, with a particular emphasis on Liberia. As digital technologies continue to expand, cybercrime has emerged as a formidable threat, resulting in significant financial losses and jeopardizing the privacy and security of individuals and organizations across the globe. The study evaluates the existing cybercrime legislation in Liberia, analyzing its conformity with international standards and pinpointing deficiencies that impede effective enforcement and protection. By conducting a comparative analysis with global best practices, the research reveals both the strengths and weaknesses of Liberia’s approach to cybercrime. The paper offers recommendations aimed at strengthening the legal framework, highlighting the necessity of international collaboration, clear legal definitions, and heightened public awareness. It posits that a robust legal framework is crucial not only for addressing cyber threats but also for promoting economic growth and stability in the digital era.
