A atuação do direito penal no combate aos cibercrimes: Perspectivas para a efetividade da justiça digital

Abstract

This article employs the hypothetico-deductive scientific method and aims to conceptualize and introduce what cybercrimes are, as well as to demonstrate how Criminal Law legislates on certain crimes that have migrated from the real to the virtual environment. Additionally, it discusses cyber security, something of extreme relevance for ensuring a safe virtual environment. Therefore, it concludes that from the questions raised in the introduction, it can be concluded that normal crimes and cybercrimes differ in various aspects due to their nature and the way they are committed.
