Cyber Crime, Locus delicti, Tempus DelictiAbstract
Uncertainty in determining the locus delicti (place of the crime) and tempus delicti (time of the crime) is a major challenge in law enforcement against cross-border and anonymous cybercrime. The nature of cybercrime that utilizes technology, such as encryption, VPN, and servers spread across various jurisdictions makes it difficult to determine the exact location and time of the crime, thus hampering the investigation, evidence, and effective law enforcement. Inaccuracy in determining these two aspects can confuse the application of jurisdiction and slow the handling of cases in the judicial realm. Therefore, regulatory reforms are needed that are more adaptive to technological developments to ensure that the legal system can respond to the dynamics of cybercrime more efficiently. Updating laws that align with international standards, strengthening the capacity of law enforcement in digital forensic investigations, and cross-country cooperation are strategic steps in overcoming this obstacle. With a more flexible and technology-based approach, it is expected that the legal system can adapt quickly to the complexity of cybercrime so that law enforcement can run more effectively and accurately, to provide better legal certainty for all parties involved.
