Abstract: This paper presents a comparative analysis of the law enforcement toward cybercrime in various countries: the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, China, and European countries. We summarize cybercriminal events reported by public media in various countries. We focus on criminal activities related to credit card fraud, social networking crime, Internet child pornography and juvenile delinquency. We analyze the punishment differences around the world, and find that European countries and the US tend to punish strictly while China tends to go the other way on the first three kinds of issues. For juvenile delinquencies, all countries punish youth criminals lightly.
