Cyber Terrorism Prevention from a Legal Philosophical Perspective

Abstract

Research Purpose: This study aims to identify the challenges faced in preventing cyber terrorism examined through a philosophy of law lens and to formulate a concept for preventing this crime. Methodology: The study employs a normative legal research method. Main Findings: The response to terrorist offences must be both effective and precisely targeted, because the clear and serious threat posed by this crime can endanger state sovereignty. Eradicating terrorist offences cannot be achieved solely through repressive law enforcement or ―hard approaches; ―soft approaches are also required. When applying a soft approach especially to curb the spread of radical-terrorist ideology in cyberspace prevention must begin by using virtual media to counter that spread. This need sparked the author‘s interest in exploring how preventive measures can be undertaken to avert cyber-terrorism. Practical Application: The findings can serve as a reference for government bodies and prospective researchers interested in tackling cyber-terrorism. Novelty: The study is expected to help the government craft a prevention concept for cyber terrorism.
