Features of the investigation of criminal offences against the person committed using information and telecommunications networks

Criminal law protection of the person implies not only the existence of relevant rules in criminal legislation, but also the application of these rules, which means that the perpetrators of crimes are brought to justice. One of the recent problems is that a significant number of personal attacks are carried out using information and telecommunication networks. This increases the negative impact of such encroachments and makes it more difficult to investigate them and prosecute the perpetrators. This problem can be solved only if there are effective criminalistic means that the investigator can use to establish the circumstances of the crime. Purpose: to identify criminalistic means that can effectively establish the truth in each specific criminal case of crimes committed using information and telecommunications networks. Methods: achieving this goal is possible with the use of such methods as materialistic dialectics, formal logic, situational analysis. Results: the provisions on the characteristics of criminal attacks against the person committed using information and telecommunication networks are not only the basis for making recommendations to the investigator, but also the means that can be used in determining the circumstances of a particular criminal case. Such means should include criminalistic classification and criminalistic characteristics of crimes, typical investigative situations that arise during the ongoing investigation.
