As digital transformation accelerates globally, reliance on information networks has given rise to sophisticated criminal activities that challenge traditional legal enforcement. The rapid evolution of internet-mediated offenses has exposed critical vulnerabilities within existing general criminal law statutes. However, statutory frameworks often lack tailored procedural mechanisms to effectively prosecute transnational digital offenses. General Background This study examines cybercrime within the framework of general criminal law, focusing on legal nature, offender typologies, and enforcement protocols. Specific Background Using a descriptive-analytical legal methodology, the research evaluates legislative texts and juristic doctrines governing digital offenses. Knowledge Gap Existing legal literature frequently fails to address procedural gaps in cross-border jurisdiction and electronic evidence handling. Aims The primary objective is to evaluate statutory adequacy and propose robust legislative mechanisms. Results Findings reveal significant procedural hurdles in perpetrator identification and international judicial cooperation. Novelty The research establishes a specialized synthesis of multi-tiered penalty structures and administrative oversight. Implications These insights inform policy reformations to fortify statutory resilience against digital threats. Keywords: Cybercrime, General Criminal Law, Legal Nature, Penalty Structure, Digital Evidence Key Findings Highlights Cybercrimes possess distinct transnational characteristics that complicate conventional territorial jurisdiction and offender identification. Traditional penal provisions frequently lack specialized procedural provisions required for effective digital evidence collection. Comprehensive legislative reform requires combining primary financial sanctions, operational closures, and enhanced international police collaboration.
