https://doi.org/10.35854/2219-6242-2024-1-135-144
Abstract
The article considers criminological and criminal-legal aspects of crimes directed against the property of citizens and committed with the use of information and communication technologies (ICT). In the criminal-legal aspect, this type of crime is studied as crime against property, considering it through the prism of application of the norms of criminal legislation. Criminological understanding of property crime is aimed at studying the characteristics of crime, causes and conditions that contribute to the commission of crimes, the formation and development of the personality of the criminal, victimization aspect of crime, as well as the development of appropriate measures to counteract property crime committed with the use of ICT and the formation of appropriate directions of criminal policy of the state on the basis of understanding these aspects. As a result of the study, it has been established that due to the further development of ICTs, despite the legislative and technological measures taken, property crime committed using ICTs and the material damage caused by them are also predicted to increase. Taking this into account, it is important to continue the criminological study of this type of crime in order to curb the causes, conditions and factors contributing to the growth of this type of crime.
