Summary/Abstract: We have been witness to the development of modern technology and its influence on people‘s daily lives. Hence the digital age has been an influence on crime and an a(nti)social phenomenon. In that regard we can observe the topic from two key aspects: firstly, the form of crime manifestation associated to transformative technology and secondly, crime prevention and suppression based on new techonology. Therefore, it is a fact that at the same time with the mergence of new technology there is also abuse for criminal purposes; almost all forms of crimes that are present in the real world can also be carried out in the virtual world. The problem of manipulation with personal data can be singled out, since this is one of the most valuable things in todays world and which is greaty jeopardized in the digital world. Likewise, blockchain technology, fromwhich cryptocurrencies emerged (i.e. Bitcoin), the concept of smart contracts, aswell as a whole slew of technology services, brings a risk of criminal activity inthese new areas. It can be manifested through the criminal act of theft (i.e. thetheft of private Bitcoin keys), through scams (Cryptocurrency Ponzi schemes),then scams through online casinos, all the way to serious criminal acts like moneylaundering, illegal drug trafficking, weapons, etc. (based on cryptocurrencies).On the other hand, modern technology is increasingly being used in crime preventionand suppression. An array of technological tools has been implementedin crime prevention and suppression. Likewise, evidence in the form of digitaldata can be gathered which has brought about new branches like digital forensicsand the like. The paper will introduce the basic elements in the relationshipbetween transformative technology and crime. Već smo svjedoci da je razvoj savremenih tehnologija u mnogomeuticao na svakodenvni život ljudi. Tako je digitalno doba ostvarilo uticaj i nakriminal, kao a/anti društvenu pojavu. U tom smislu naslovljenu temu posmatramosa dva glavna aspekta: prvog, oblike ispoljavanja kriminala povezanihsa transformativnim tehnologijama i drugog, prevencija i suzbijanje kriminalazasnovana na novim tehnologijama. Dakle, činjenica je da je sa pojavomnovih tehnologija istovremeno prisutna i njihova zloupotreba u svrhe, tako štose skoro svi oblici kriminala koji su poznati u realnom, mogu se izvšiti i u virtuelnomsvijetu. Izdvojili bi problem manipulacije sa ličnim podacima, s obziromda oni danas predstavljaju jednu od najvećih vrijednosti, koje su višestrukougrožene u digitalnom svijetu. Isto tako, blockchain tehnologija, na osnovu kojesu nastali kriptovalute (npr. Bitcoin), koncept pametnih ugovora, kao i čitavniz novih tehnoloških servisa, donosi rizik od kriminalnih aktivnosti u ovimnovim oblastima. On se može manifestovati od krivičnih djela krađe (npr. krađaprivatnih ključeva bitcoina), preko prevara (Ponzi shema putem kriptovaluta),zatim zloupotreba putem online kockarnica, do teških krivičnih djela kao što supranje novca, ilegalna trgovina opojnim drogama, oružjem, itd. (zasnovanimna kripotovalutama). S druge strane, sve više se savremene tehnologije koriste iu prevenciji i suzbijanju kriminala. Primjenjena su mnoga tehnološka rješenjakoja su unaprijedila prevenciju i suzbijanje kriminaliteta. Isto tako, danas sekao dokazi mogu prikupljati i činjenice zapisane u digitalnom obliku, što je uslovilorazvijanje potpuno novih oblasti kao što su digitalna forenzika i slično.U radu ćemo dati osnovne teze odnosa trasformativnih tehnologija i kriminala.
