About Private Theory of Operational Investigative Activity to Combat Crimes Committed Using Information and Communication Technologies
The urgency of the problem is explained by the increase in the number of registered crimes committed using information and communication technologies and the low percentage of their detection. At the same time, most crimes of this type belong to the category of grave and especially grave. Problem statement: currently, one of the main problems of domestic law enforcement agencies that significantly criminalize the operational situation is the problem of combating crimes committed using information and communication technologies. It seems that its solution is possible by better scientific support of this type of law enforcement activity. The purpose of the study is to develop, on the basis of the general theory of operational investigative activity, a private theory for combating crimes committed using information and communication technologies, followed by the introduction of formulated scientifically based recommendations into the practical activities of internal affairs bodies. Research methods: comparative-legal, formal-logical, concrete-sociological, statistical methods. Results and key conclusions: a private theory of operational investigative activities to combat crimes committed using information and communication technologies has been developed, which can be considered: as a field of scientific knowledge; as a theoretical basis for the development of regulatory legal acts in the field of combating crimes committed using IT technologies; as a continuous scientifically organized and a scientifically based type of operational investigative activity; as one of their directions in the educational disciplines of the law enforcement cycle.
