Resumen:
The present work has as its theme the challenges faced in the repression of internet
crimes in the light of technological advances. In this way, it is verified that computers
and other electronic equipment, along with the Internet, have evolved over the years,
becoming democratizing to the point where technology is the pillar of the current
society. It is worth noting that, in addition to the benefits provided by technology,
there are also operational problems. Criminals have seen the alleged anonymity
provided by the internet, "fertile ground" for committing crimes. Although these crimes
are increasing in Brazil, the State has not yet taken the necessary measures to
ensure that the issue is treated and deserved. In this sense, a deductive approach
was adopted, studying the aspects that make the punishment of computer crimes
and their characteristics complex. A historical and evolutionary study of the internet
and the computer was carried out, as well as a study on the emergence of these
computer crimes and all the progress made to date. The objective of this work is to
analyze the legal aspects related to these crimes, as well as the challenges faced by
the Brazilian authorities in the criminal process of these crimes. The main Brazilian
laws dealing with computer crimes, addressing their technical flaws, as well as the
research challenges ranging from the precariousness of specialized research teams
to the peculiarities that this digital medium has and that make it difficult to identify the
perpetrator, were discussed. It is concluded that the existence and constant growth
of computer crimes is a challenge for society and for the operators of the law and that
the development of alternatives for the solution of these crimes is necessary.
