Abstract
With the increased use of ICT in different areas of contemporary life, the widespread access to the Internet, and the use of social media, individuals and organisations face constant threats and challenges resulting from the bad consequences of cybercrimes. Research shows that the incidence of cybercrime is increasing. In response to these threats and challenges, government and law enforcement agencies in different countries around the world have enacted anti-cybercrime laws. The aim of this paper is to compare the existing anti-cybercrime laws in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. It adopts a comparative research approach. According to the findings, although these countries share common traditions and Islamic, legal, cultural and social values, there are some similarities and differences in their anti-cybercrime laws. Furthermore, there is variation in the scope of addressing cybercrimes. The paper highlights some issues related to these laws and provides suggestions for improvement and future research.
