Problematic Issues of Identifying Crimes Committed Against Minors Using Information and Digital Technologies
( Pp. 174-179)

Abstract: The article discusses issues related to the commission of violent crimes in the virtual space against minors. The development of Internet technologies has led to the penetration of criminals into the digital environment. The relevance of this study is justified by the growth of illegal violent, aggressive and brutal content on the Internet, which has a negative impact on minors, and the distribution of pornographic materials, including those involving teenagers. Sexual violence against minors using information and digital technologies remains a particularly acute problem. The authors come to the conclusion that it is necessary to develop, both at the national and international levels, an effective mechanism to combat violence and sexual violence, and to strengthen control over the spread of harmful content on the Internet.
