: Cybercrime is a fast-growing digital crime and legislation falling behind with the fast-moving advancement of technology. One important factor projected by literature in combating cybercrime is legislation. In order to combat cybercrime, the role of cybercrime legislation is a challenge that has not been clearly studied before. This paper thus aims to recapitulate the literature on cybercrime legislation in combating cybercrime. The literature in this context emphasises on existing studies relating to cybercrime legislation and addressing the importance of adequate and efficient responses in place in order to combat cybercrime efficiently. : This paper finds an extensive literature review using the "Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis" method based on legislation to combat cybercrime and explains a systematic analysis of the legislation in most advanced countries in both technology and legal framework. The study was done by selecting keywords, validated by the experts to discover research trends of cybercrime legislation. A search was then run across seven academic databases, including the ACM Digital Library, Emerald, Hein Online, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Westlaw Asia. Initially, five hundred and forty-eight articles were retrieved and out of which seventy-two studies met the inclusion criteria and were fully reviewed. : The findings of the study revealed that comprehensive cybercrime legislation plays a vital role in combating cybercrime and cybercrime legislation should be strengthened, enhanced, and made up to date with the rapid advancement of technology in order to address the rising number of cybercrime. : This systematic review is timely and highlights future research directions to improve a comprehensive legal framework to combat the rising of cybercrime effectively. To fill the research gap, the findings also have fundamental practical implications for the policy makers, in enacting an up to date cybercrime legislation by highlighting the role of legislation in combating cybercrime.
网络犯罪是一种迅速增长的数字犯罪，而立法却落后于技术的快速发展。文献中预测的打击网络犯罪的一个重要因素是立法。为了打击网络犯罪，网络犯罪立法的作用是一个此前尚未得到明确研究的挑战。因此，本文旨在概述有关打击网络犯罪的网络犯罪立法的文献。这方面的文献强调了与网络犯罪立法相关的现有研究，并论述了采取充分且有效的应对措施以有效打击网络犯罪的重要性。
本文采用“系统评价与Meta分析的首选报告项目”方法，基于打击网络犯罪的立法进行了广泛的文献综述，并阐述了对技术和法律框架最为先进的国家的立法进行的系统分析。该研究通过选择关键词并经专家验证来发现网络犯罪立法的研究趋势。然后在七个学术数据库中进行搜索，包括美国计算机协会数字图书馆、Emerald、Hein Online、ProQuest、ScienceDirect、Scopus和Westlaw Asia。最初检索到548篇文章，其中72项研究符合纳入标准并进行了全面审查。
研究结果表明，全面的网络犯罪立法在打击网络犯罪中起着至关重要的作用，并且网络犯罪立法应随着技术的快速发展而得到加强、完善和更新，以应对不断增加的网络犯罪数量。
这项系统评价很及时，并突出了未来的研究方向，以改进全面的法律框架，从而有效地应对网络犯罪的增加。为了填补研究空白，研究结果对政策制定者也具有重要的实际意义，通过强调立法在打击网络犯罪中的作用，来制定最新的网络犯罪立法。
