Cyber criminology and human security: An Analysis of ASEAN Countries Police’s Paradigm

Abstract

The paper aimed to analyse the major issues and effects of cybercrime in the ASEAN region based on different jurisdictional settings just as the advanced strategies being exhibited from authorities worldwide in order to control cybercrimes and build cybersecurity systems. The members of ASEAN have developed multidisciplinary crime models which are used to counter cyber-threats and build cyber-resilience models. The models include, criminalisation of cybercrime at a national level, developing and implementing a strategic and coordinated national plan, partnerships between private businesses, universities and international organisations. The main difficulties that ASEAN region’s police forces, in their attempt to fight against cybercrime, come across include legal and regulatory complexities, technological and resource restraints, and unequal digital environments. These problems limit the capacity of the police authorities to provide effective cybercrime combating and keep people’s security. Suggestions for ASEAN countries generated by the study results include providing legal protection, building capacity of the national cybersecurity, advocating for global cooperation, popularizing cybersecurity awareness, and use of cybercrime prevention measures
