Abstract(s)
O Ciberespaço possui duas faces que se distinguem: por meio da visão utópica traduz se numa ferramenta fundamental na mitigação e prevenção da criminalidade, outrora, soma-se
a ela uma personalidade obscura, permeável a qualquer indivíduo carregado de intenções
maliciosas, ou seja, é também ele uma ameaça em si (visão distópica). Assim, não só emerge
uma nova forma de crime - crime informático - como o crime tradicional é também convidado a
desenvolver-se nesta nova forma de espaço. Por conseguinte, a fusão do crime com o digital faz
da prova digital um valioso meio de auxílio à investigação criminal na condenação daqueles que
se dedicam a tais práticas criminosas. Na presente investigação, a exploração sexual de menores
no Ciberespaço, uma e-ameaça crescente e reticular, é desenhada como um fenómeno que
necessita de devida atenção na sua vertente legal, policial e académica (teórica, empírica e
normativa).
We may say cyberspace has two distinct sides: through the utopian vision, it becomes a fundamental tool for mitigating and preventing crime, while on the other hand, it has a dark personality, permeable to any individual with malicious intentions, which it’s also a threat itself (dystopian vision). So, not only does a new form of crime emerge (cybercrime), but the traditional crime is also invited to develop in this new form of space. Therefore, the fusion of crime and the digital makes Digital Evidence a valuable way of supporting criminal investigation in convicting those who engage in such criminal practices. In this paper, the sexual exploitation of children in cyberspace, a growing and widespread e-threat, is described as a phenomenon that needs due attention in its legal, police and academic aspects (theoretical, empirical and normative).
