In this book, the authors propose a set of improved and modernised provisions expressing the general principles of criminal responsibility. This set of principles will comprise a “General Part” which, it is proposed, will form part of Singapore’s Penal Code. The key objective of devising and enacting the General Part is to significantly revitalise the Penal Code and restore many of its original technical attributes. Each chapter of this book comprises: (a) a carefully considered and drafted provision on a general principle of criminal responsibility; (b) a summary of the existing law in Singapore pertaining to that principle; (c) a selection of recent formulations of that principle from other jurisdictions to benchmark Singapore’s law (both current and proposed) with international best practices; and (d) a comparison of these formulations with the provision proposed in this book for inclusion as a General Part in Singapore’s Penal Code.

The book offers a detailed examination of Singapore’s legal and policy framework for cybersecurity, starting with an overview of the Cybersecurity Act 2018, complementary legislation, and national strategies for resilience and innovation. Subsequent chapters address common attack vectors and vulnerabilities that lawyers ought to be aware of, legal issues connected with responses to a cybersecurity incident, civil liability and remedies stemming from cybersecurity incidents, as well as civil liabilities of victims of cybersecurity incidents and alternative dispute resolution.

The final chapters look into the objectives of computer-related offences, and provide reflections on Singapore’s cybersecurity approach and legal framework as well as the challenges policy and law makers face in the fight against increasingly sophisticated cyber criminals.
