Abstract

Cybercrime being an act committed through the use of the computer either as a tool or target makes the computer an indispensable tool for almost all cybercrimes. The increasing number of persons utilizing computers, the different purposes for which they are put, coupled with the intractable problems of defining what is and what is not a computer under the Nigerian Cybercrimes Act 2015 is central to the determination of guilt or otherwise of cybercriminals brought before the court for prosecution. The conceptualization of computers under the Nigerian Cybercrimes Act 2015 provides the trial judge with so much discretion and little or no guidance as to whether a particular device is, or is not a computer. Moreover, considering the development of information and communication technology, the concept is continuously challenged.
2015年网络罪犯和尼日利亚网络犯罪法案:为网络犯罪司法概念化计算机
网络犯罪是通过使用计算机作为工具或目标而实施的行为,这使得计算机成为几乎所有网络犯罪不可或缺的工具。越来越多的人使用电脑,他们的不同目的,再加上根据2015年尼日利亚网络犯罪法定义什么是电脑,什么不是电脑的棘手问题,是确定有罪或其他网络罪犯提交法院起诉的核心。根据2015年尼日利亚网络犯罪法,计算机的概念为审判法官提供了如此多的自由裁量权,很少或根本没有指导,以确定特定设备是否是计算机。此外,考虑到信息和通信技术的发展,这一概念不断受到挑战。
