Abstract :
Cyberspace is an interconnected digital environment. It is a type of virtual world popularized with the rise of the Internet. The term entered popular culture from science fiction and the arts but is now used by technology strategists, security professionals, governments, military and industry leaders and entrepreneurs to describe the domain of the global technology environment, commonly defined as standing for the global network of interdependent information technology infrastructures, telecommunications networks and computer processing systems. Others consider cyberspace to be just a notional environment in which communication over computer networks occurs. One of the different and surprising phenomena of the 21st century is the emergence of cyberspace, which many abuses have led to the prediction of criminal measures in this field. But considering the many problems that exist in criminal measures, the policy of preventing the occurrence of these crimes is the most appropriate measure of criminal policy. In the meantime, situational prevention is considered one of the important and practical measures, but this prevention is faced with limitations, including the violation of human rights standards. The nature of the cyber space is such that it has caused the manifestation of freedom of expression and the free flow of information, and also with the facilities it has provided for the establishment of all kinds of safe communication, it has somehow taken a step in the direction of protecting the privacy of people. However, the preventive measures against cyber crimes in some cases impair the rights of individuals. Therefore, the government has many responsibilities towards citizens, including establishing security and preventing crimes against citizens. Also, if cyber attacks are attributed to a government, the international responsibility of the government will be possible. A cyber attack by private individuals is attributed to the government if they are employed or controlled by the government. Applying the theory of blame in cyber attacks makes it possible to identify the perpetrator of the cyber attack by identifying the perpetrator of the cyber attack. In this case, it will be possible to compensate the damage in different ways, including stopping the illegal act, paying compensation and getting satisfaction. In this article, the challenges and legal solutions to prevent cybercrimes are discussed.
