The use of IT technologies in the prevention of crimes

The importance of information technology in the fight against crime cannot be overestimated in the modern world. It is the use of computer software and appropriate technical means that have become the most effective measures to neutralize and eradicate offenses in practice. Of particular importance are analytical information systems, which can allow through information and communication technologies to solve the main problem, that is, in the disclosure and investigation of crimes. And the most important thing is that the problem of a lack of information is being solved, both about the attacker himself and about the circumstances of the commission of offenses, since all this data is stored in the computer’s memory. The comprehensive use of information support in criminal activities, on the one hand, and the use of various technologies for monitoring and managing information flows from the operational services, on the other, in the modern world inevitably moves to a new quality level. Significant advances in the fight against crime can be achieved with the use of modern information technologies and technical means of intelligence purposes. Such a term as “information war” today is filled with a new meaning, expressed in the confrontation between the criminal world and law enforcement agencies. This work is devoted to the study of the issues of large-scale application of information technologies in the field of combating crime in Russia. The problems faced by the Russian society in general and law enforcement agencies in particular are analyzed. Topical issues of the prospects for the effective use of digital technologies in the field of combating crime are considered
