Comparative Analysis of Some Means of Countering Discovery of Crimes in the Sphere of Illegal Drug Traffic Committed with the Use of the Internet
( Pp. 38-41)

Abstract: Internet drug trafficking is becoming an increasingly common form of criminal activity. The means of counteracting the disclosure of crimes in the field of drug trafficking committed using the Internet must meet modern requirements. It is necessary to develop new methods to counter the spread of this type of crime. It is becoming more and more difficult for law enforcement agencies to carry out the fight against drug trafficking committed using the global network. The complexity of counteraction lies in the need to apply special knowledge and attract specialized specialists. The emerging negative trend in the Russian Federation requires special attention from government agencies represented by law enforcement agencies. It should be noted that the use of the global Internet contributes to an increase in the number of drugs in circulation. The use of the Internet makes it possible to attract an increasing number of people to the use of narcotic drugs, especially young people, who are the most active category using the Internet. One of the problems is the decrease in the age of people who use drugs, which is also facilitated by the use of the possibilities of the global network. The above circumstances greatly complicate the disclosure of crimes related to drug trafficking in the global network. It should also be noted that drug traffickers are improving their methods of selling through the global network, using more and more resources, and increasing their knowledge in the field of information technology. Quite often, using the global network, underage persons are attracted to the distribution of drugs. In general, this is a threat to the health, social and economic development of society. Under the current conditions, it is necessary to constantly improve the system of counteracting the spread of drugs on the Internet
