“…It is imperative to update the government's cybersecurity strategy to ensure its alignment with the most current cyber threats. By maintaining awareness of emerging risks and trends, the government can cultivate a proactive and adaptable strategy toward cybersecurity [18]. Secondly, it is imperative to augment the government's allocation of resources toward enforcing cybersecurity regulations.…”

The incidence of cybercrime in Zambia is rising, with perpetrators exhibiting a growing tendency to focus on corporate entities and private citizens. The Zambian government has tried to resolve the issue of network protection dangers through the execution of different approaches and procedures. Notwithstanding, the adequacy of these actions has been restricted. The present research investigates Zambia's extant cybersecurity policies and strategies and delineates several domains where enhancements can be made. The research provides several suggestions on how the Zambian government can enhance its efforts to address cybercrime. This research employs a qualitative approach to investigate the extent of cybersecurity policies and strategies in Zambia by analyzing secondary data. The study seeks to offer valuable insights into the efficacy of Zambia's cybersecurity framework in addressing the escalating menace of cybercrime by scrutinizing pertinent literature, government reports, and academic articles. The results of this study provide valuable insights into the difficulties encountered by the nation and propose suggestions for improving current policies and strategies.

“…Yet, identifying exchanges or other spaces where cybercriminals transact their funds can help identify bottlenecks that can be more easily sealed or loopholes in regulation that innovative cybercriminals learn to exploit. Moreover, many developing countries lack endogenous education systems capable of training people with adequate cybersecurity skills and the capacity to investigate these crimes (Oleksiewicz 2019), though the Council of Europe and UNODC have active programmes of development.…”

McMurdie 2016), due to the quickly-evolving and vast nature of these crimes (Holt 2018), which typically involve more effort and cross-border expense and access difficulties than do most offline crimes in the Pursue mode. Policing has been slow to adjust to the rise of digital crimes and fraud, not least because it often means giving up functions currently performed, which meet resistance (HMICFRS 2019a(HMICFRS , 2019b."Effectiveness" in policing cybercrime needs to be clearly defined and should be seen on a spectrum. The evolution of cybercrime and cyber offender strategies is fast paced, making studying and reporting on them a difficult task. In addition to this challenge, the vast majority of research is undertaken, produced, and disseminated in English and focuses on a minority of sites where actively publishing western academics are based (Cross 2018).Yet, the scope of cyber offenders, their involvement in a range of illegal activities, and the costs of policing cyber offenders, stemming from cross-jurisdictional offences, generate serious concerns for law enforcement agencies throughout the world (Carroll and Windle 2018; Gilmour 2014; Malby et al. 2013). However, little is known about the attitudes of law enforcement towards cyber offenders in those countries in which statesponsored and state-tolerated cyber offending occurs: it is simply assumed or inferred from unsuccessful pursuit that little is being done there, at least until they victimise their local populations, setting aside often well-informed and severe reactions to those deemed to be "political opponents" or acting without authorisation from those in power. Cyber offenders operate broadly across borders, creating mutual legal assistance problems, which arise from variation in legal definitions provided by different statutes (Harkin, Whelan, and Chang 2018; McMurdie 2016) as well as institutional problems of conflicting priorities even where the offenders are not statesponsored or state-tolerated/corruptors. Except where political pressure or comity can be applied from abroad, enforcement agencies generally prioritise their domestic cases over international ones. As a result, cyber offenders encounter police services that differ in their approaches for detecting, investigating, and disrupting incidents associated with cyber offenders and their collaborators/competitors. These discrepancies, in turn, lead to uncertainties about the use of disruption strategies and their effectiveness, particularly in cross-border contexts, in addition to any uncertainties for evaluations arising from uneven but generally poor data availability.With limited resources and expertise, especially in opportunity principle countries where discretion is formally allowed, 1 law enforcement must make explicit or implicit strategic decisions in its approach, focusing on what it believes will yield the largest impacts while working within the political and economic constraints of its local CrimRxiv Evaluating Criminal Transactional Methods in Cyberspace as Understood in...

Introduction. Economics and linguistics are United by the dualism of human nature: word and action. Modern society clearly demonstrates the convergence of the spheres of Economics and linguistics, as civilization develops in a digital format. Object of research: terms-metaphors in the language of Economics. The concepts of Economics play an important role in the complex process of cognition of changes in the life of society, they are implemented as new meanings of familiar words, forming a new holistic system. Close attention is paid to the functioning of economic terminology in modern advertising discourse. The subject of the study: language / speech implementation of the mechanism of influence of economic advertising forms in the mass-media economic advertising discourse. Our hypothesis. Interest in the relationship between Economics and linguistics is since Homo sapiens was replaced by Homo Economicus, a rational subject making rational decisions. In this regard, the verbalization of economic concepts is changing. We analyze only the used algorithms of metaphorization of economic concepts that influence the verbal behavior of modern man. "Dry" is an economic term, through the metaphor becomes more understandable for the ordinary native speaker. Methodology. Methods of applied linguistics for the analysis of language metaphors used in economic terminology in the mass-media economic advertising discourse. Applications of this study: applied linguistics, economic terminology, language theory, psycholinguistics, social Economics. Novelty/Originality of this study: We propose to consider the semantic field of the economic term as the sphere of existence of the latter in the subjective lexicon, and through it in the unified information base of a person as a carrier of language consciousness, which is an integral part of the individual's worldview and is formed from the complex interaction of his knowledge.
