Интернет и злоупотребе у сајбер простору
Internet and abuse in cyberspace

Summary/Abstract: Modern technologies allow the transnational character of cyberspace. Hence, itis not at all sporadic that computer networks can become subject to various misuses. In this sense, computer wrecks can have a triple meaning. First, they can appear as a target or object of attack. Second, computer networks are both a technical tool and an attack tool. Third, they allow for the commission of a criminal offense. The cybercriminal act is carried out concealed and difficult to disclose, and itis even more difficult to prove it before the competent authorities. A particularly prominent problem in this matter is the abuse of the internet as a basic global communications computer network. In the following analysis, the authors pointed to the fact that 85.7% of the population in the European Union used the Internet in 2017, while 49.8% of the population used Facebook. Moreover, at the global level, 51.7% of the population used the internet in 2017 while 26.3% used Facebook. In the Republic of Serbia, in the period from 2015 to 2017, a continuous increase in the number of users in the field of application of information and communication technologies was observed. Also, certain criminological tendencies were identified, due to which it is necessary to improve the monitoring of the dynamics and structure of crime in the future.
