Abstract

The historical variability of crime is associated primarily with the ontogenesis of social relations. The process of technological evolution, the globalization of economies, on the one hand, is positive, on the other hand, it contributes to the introduction of new types of criminal acts. Organized crime is actively using the possibilities of modern means of communication in its activities, developing innovative ways of committing crimes, expanding international relations. Thus, ceasing to be a purely internal problem of an individual state, acquiring a transnational character. The use of information and communication technologies has given criminals the opportunity to introduce new mechanisms for committing criminal acts within existing criminal structures, such as fraud, theft, extortion, and so on.
