Global Crime, 2008, vol. 9, issue 3, 262-272

Abstract: An article that discusses how information and communications technology (computer systems and data transmission) are used as ‘cyber weapons’ for criminal purposes. It canvasses a number of legislative policy options for controlling their misuse. The paper concludes with the view that implementing some form of cyber weapons laws -- in the same vein as firearms legislation -- would not only help ensure society's domestic well-being, but would also aid national security.
