Some Ways of Effectively Countering the Criminalization of the World Computer Network in the Context of Globalization

The purpose of this study was to study ways to counter the criminalization of the world computer network, which was especially facilitated by globalization processes. In general, the development of the world computer network has had a significant impact on the entire sphere of public administration and has allowed mankind to go to the use of high-quality ICT infrastructure for the use of these technologies for the benefit of consumers and the state. However, this process, in addition to positive trends, had a negative aspect, consisting in the risk of unlawful interference in the activities of the world computer network and causing harm not only to individuals, but to entire corporations and states. The tasks of the study are to analyze the reasons for the criminalization of the world computer network and the disruption of the normal functioning of the information and telecommunications space. And among the main reasons of course is the self-interest of users. And the most common crimes committed are unauthorized access to the information system, interference with data and the operation of the system, illegal interception of information, illegal use of telecommunications equipment, forgery of documents, copyright infringement, and fraud associated with obtaining economic benefits, etc. In this connection, the public danger of this phenomenon is recognized at the international level. Conclusions: the processes of formation and development of a globalized world space have played a leading role in the expansion of the scope, and as a result, the criminalization of the world computer network. However, the issues related to the criminalization of the world computer network are not sufficiently studied. The effectiveness of the fight against this phenomenon is significantly influenced by knowledge of the specifics of crimes committed in the network. Law enforcement officers in their activities to counter this phenomenon use stereotypical methods and techniques that do not take into account the characteristics of new types of crimes. Also, the lack of developed methods to counter the criminalization of the world computer network and the imperfection of regulatory regulation are also a downing factor.
