The Difficulties and Approaches in Investigate Evidence of New Types Cybercrime

Abstract

As one of the most prominent and controversial types of cases in current criminal justice practice, the new type of cybercrime faces both difficulties in investigation and evidence collection, as well as difficulties in judicial determination. The new type of cybercrime has become one of the mainstream crimes in China, and its characteristics of complex criminal subjects, diverse criminal methods, chained criminal patterns, and cross regional crimes make it difficult to meet the investigation requirements of new network crimes under new technologies relying on traditional criminal investigation methods.  In the practice of investigation, there are practical difficulties such as difficulty in collecting evidence, difficulty in extracting electronic evidence, and the need to strengthen cross regional and cross departmental cooperation.  The specific solution approach is to improve the investigation capability of public security departments for cybercrime, standardize electronic evidence collection for new types of cybercrime, and strengthen cooperation in investigating cross regional and cross-border new types of cybercrime.
