This analysis reveals the preventative measures for computer theft in relation to objective signs, suggesting differentiated tactics for various criminal stages.
The criminological significance of the manifestation in reality of objective signs of certain types of crimes is due to the possibility of determining tactics and features of preventive measures. This is especially pronounced in relation to computer theft. Analyzing the object and predicate of the crime, the author notes that these signs distinguish computer theft from crimes against the security of a computer system and computer data, and therefore determine the differentiation of preventive measures for these types of crimes. Turning to the stages of criminal activity, the author emphasizes that persuasion can be effective at the stage of preparation of a crime, coercion at the stage of an attempt, and in the case of an ongoing crime, when some of the acts included in the general intent have already been committed, both persuasion and coercion can be used to prevent the remaining episodes. Analyzing the methods of committing computer theft, the author argues that the crime in question differs from other types of theft in the ways it is committed, which in turn is the basis for the differentiated implementation of preventive measures. In addition, the methods of computer theft find their manifestation in specific criminological situations, which were analyzed by the author. Knowledge of these situations should be the basis for organizing the prevention of this crime. Revealing the characteristics of the means of computer theft, the author notes that the choice of preventive measures and tactics is determined by the type of means.
