Crime in the digital era: a victim-dogmatic analysis of the risks at social globalized media

Computer technology has come to stay in people’s life and the coexistence between user and electronic computer devices would be harmonious if it were not for the undesirable action of malicious people, cyber criminals, whose activities may cause irreparable harm to their victims. This work now presented has as its main aim to highlight aspects inherent to the virtual environment from a victim-dogmatic perspective. It is a qualitative study, by using the descriptive and deductive method, which seeks to present the problem, by considering the reality of cybercrime and Brazilian legislation, the most effective Brazilian laws as Internet Civil Mark Law, the General Data Protection Law and, more recently, Law number 14.155/2021. The latter has allowed the competent authorities involved in the investigation and criminal procedure to access and exchange computer data of the investigated people and established more several penalties for criminals. Many cybercrimes are of a cross-border /transnational nature and, unfortunately, international laws are not the same at fighting against this kind of crimes. It is hoped that this article is able to provoke an important reflection on cybercrime in Brazil that can contribute to the establishment of more effective ways to fight it.
