Abstract

Botswana has identified development of legal frameworks as one of its cybersecurity strategies. One issue that government is dealing with when it comes to cybercrime legislation is the overuse of technology related terminology. Therefore, in this study the cybercrime act of Botswana was examined alongside that of South Africa and the United Kingdom (UK), to assess its use of technology jargon. The legislation from these countries was analyzed quantitatively using frequency of terms, and feature co-occurrence. The analysis performed in this study was done through the statistical and analytical lens of R. It was discovered in this study that the UK cybercrime law uses less technology specific terms compared to the Botswana and the South African cybercrime acts. Hence it is adaptable and remains relevant to the ever-evolving technological environment.
