Description of Subtheme:

Despite the positive side brought about by the technology revolution to simplify procedures and make them easier and better, this revolution has a negative side, which is the emergence of a new type of crime that is sophisticated in the way and method of committing it, and the characteristics and character of criminals, which are what are known as information technology crimes, which represent a direct and clear threat to security and stability.

In view of this, the legislator was keen to develop legislative confrontation systems for information technology crimes by introducing punitive legislative texts that are compatible with the phenomenon of modern technical crime by issuing - for example - the Electronic Transactions and Data of a Personal Nature Law No. 81 dated 10/10/2018.

The importance of this topic lies in an attempt to shed light on the phenomenon of technical crime as a modern phenomenon that requires in-depth study and research due to the clear and widespread appearance of these crimes in many fields and at all levels. It also works to shed light on the modern legislation that has been enacted in order to keep pace with these new crimes. 


Legislative development contributes to keeping pace with legal developments by filling any legislative deficiency that may occur as a result of economic development and the new crimes that accompany it, which contributes fundamentally to achieving sustainable development goals by imposing a legislative policy that targets the legal system and enhances sustainability in various sectors, on the first hand. On the other hand, it also encourages innovation and investment in various sectors that contribute to development processes.  On the third hand, it seeks to establish justice and empower communities as it plays a major role in ensuring the principle of equality and fair treatment for all.

To ensure comprehensive coverage of the issue at hand, it is essential to study the research plan that involves the following steps:

- Understanding the concept of technical crime

- Identifying national and international developments in this field

- Analyzing the legislative measures taken to address information technology crimes.
