Strategic directions of countering crime in the digital sphere: cross-cultural analysis

The article is devoted to the analysis of the strategy and practice of counteracting modern states (mainly Russia and the USA) to the dominant types of digital crime. We are talking about implementing a set of measures in relation to the most dangerous and widespread terrorist and mercenary-fraudulent crimes committed in the digital environment or through the use of digital technologies. The article also assesses the degree of effectiveness of efforts being made in Russia and the United States to stabilize the current situation. According to the authors of the article, the creation and improvement of digital crime counteraction systems in these countries is characterized by the greatest dynamism and a relatively high level of effectiveness. But it is also obvious that a strategically balanced approach to the implementation of measures to combat digital crime requires the concerted efforts of not only the Russian Federation and the United States of America, but also the entire world community. It is concluded that the existing conceptual approach to the preventive element of this strategy needs further modernization.
