ABSTRACT
According to the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), cybercrime is one of the fastest growing crimes, and it is estimated that cybercrime has cost the world billions of dollars every year (INTERPOL, 2014). Although we should always be cautious about the accuracy of these estimates, it is fair to say that cybercrime has moved beyond just a few computer geeks trying to show o their computer skills as many traditional criminals are now exploring how to facilitate their criminal activities through the relative freedom and elusiveness provided in the digital world. Moreover, cyberspace can readily extend reach to a wider selection of victims, oen across geographic boundaries. If criminals do not respect the law, we cannot expect them to be stopped by a human-dened borderline. For criminals, physically passing a borderline entails certain diculty, while in cyberspace, the diculty of going international is minimal. In fact, the number one reason that discourages criminals from operating on an international level in cyberspace is the language barrier. However, this barrier is becoming more and more conquerable owing to modern technologies that oer instant translation on the Internet or on a handheld electronic device.
