THE MAIN REASONS FOR COMMITTING ECONOMIC CRIMINAL OFFENSES IN CYBERSPACE

Summary/Abstract: It is worth noting that the main causes of economic crime in cyberspace can be conditionally divided into general and special. The general reasons for the commission of economic criminal offenses are characteristic of all economic crime in general. Special determinants are defined as a set of certain reasons and conditions that are characteristic exclusively for economic criminal offenses committed in cyberspace. Common determinants for all economic criminal offenses will be: a sharp decrease in the exchange rate, a sharp increase in retail prices for basic necessities, a decrease in the standard of living, an economic crisis, and an increase in unemployment. Note that the determinants of economic crime in cyberspace are, first of all, determined by the specific features of cyberspace and the means of committing criminal offenses in it. The relevance of the research lies in establishing the reasons and conditions for committing criminal offenses in cyberspace. In our opinion, it is precisely thanks to the definition and analysis of the main reasons and conditions for committing criminal offenses in the financial sector that is the basis for building a system to counter such a negative phenomenon. The aim of the work is to analyze the main conditions for committing economic criminal offenses in cyberspace, and to give them a general description. Among the main determinants of economic crime in cyberspace, we singled out: anonymity, imperfection of legislation, transnationality, the possibility of obtaining a large income with minimal costs, technical imperfection of cyberspace and the lack of digital cybernetic ethics among the population.
