صعوبات الدليل الجنائي في الجرائم المعلوماتية

Abstract EN

Evidence is to prove that a crime is committed and to relate it to a suspect according to legal procedures.

The general concept of evidence also applies to cybercrimes.

So, evidence encounters many problems as how to obtain proofs, as the criminals, who use electronic devices in their crimes, are both intelligent and accurate at what they do, and that is why they can hide their illegal activities when operating their devices which they use in their illegal manipulation of electronic vibrations or pulses through which data are saved.

The non-physical nature of data saved on computers and the nature of the transference techniques raise a number of problems in criminal evidence; the proof of crimes related to electronic processes is very hard.

Also, the huge quantities of data used in information systems form one of the difficulties that hinder the investigation of related crimes.

Additionally, we find that another reason is that investigators and detectives are not fully experienced at the time that revealing crimes, finding the criminals, and judicially chasing them all require investigation strategies, training and skills that help understand and confront the advanced technologies of computers and the illegal manipulations which are usually used in such crimes.

The weak international cooperation in combating cybercrimes is also discussed.

These subjects constitute the core of our research on the difficulties of evidence.
