pp: 7-25
The influence of digital environment on the psychophysical development of children is becoming more and more dominant, which is supported by empirical indicators. The type and degree of influence can be different, and the consequence is always the same and is reflected in the harmful effects on the psychophysical development of children. At the same time, numerous studies on victims show that the real impact of high technology on the psychophysical development of children is much greater than that shown by the available data. The main reason for such a situation could be sought in the reasons for non-reporting of these behaviors by the victim or rather non-recognition of the harmful effects of high technology on the psychophysical development of children. To this, we can add the detrimental effects of secondary victimization, which often covers victims of crime. In this sense, the question arises as to how society can most adequately respond to these behaviors. Different models of prevention can yield promising results, but raise questions about protection of children’s rights, including personal data. On the other hand, criminal repression, as ultima ratio, has full justification for its introduction, but also significant limitations. This is why the subject matter of this paper is prevention and suppression of socially unacceptable behavior manifested by the use of high technology, regardless of whether children are victims or actors of such behavior.

THE USE OF HACKING TECHNIQUES FOR THE PURPOSE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
Milana Pisarić, PhD,
pp: 51-66
Since certain trends in information technologies significantly hinder criminal investigation, there is an evident need for the creation of an appropriate criminal procedure mechanism to overcome these obstacles. One of the options is to enable the law enforcement agencies to use hacking techniques in order to gain access to protected computer systems, networks and data, even remotely, in order to identify suspects, to monitor their activities and communications, and to collect evidence. In this paper the author is considering the possibilities, advantages and risks of using hacking techniques for the purposes of criminal proceedings. After pointing out the risks of malware use by the competent authorities, the normative framework for overcoming those risks was considered through regulating the authorized access to a protected computer system or network, as a special investigative action, so the data obtained through such actions could be used as evidence in the court of law.

pp: 67-91
Insufficient development of International Criminal Law, as well as its development under the influence of different legal systems, brought forth the lack of clear definitions of certain criminal law concepts and institutes. When considering the goals of International Criminal Law in theory they are often confused with the goals of International Criminal Justice, but also with the purpose of punishment in International Criminal Law. In that sense, the aim of the paper is, first of all, to analyse theoretical understandings of the goals of International Criminal Law and Justice, as well as their definition in the acts within the field of International Criminal Law, in order to provide for the possible manner of defining and delimiting these terms. Further, the aim of the paper is to distinguish from these terms the purpose of punishment in International Criminal Law.

pp: 143-159
The legal system of each state consists of a wide range of legal rules. Thus, national security and legal order are a high priority for each nation and manifest themselves distinctly within any state. In the Republic of Moldova, the mentioned social value is protected both: the contravention and by the criminal law. This paper aims to make a study of the crime of mass disorder in the Republic of Moldova in comparison with European countries. The comparative analysis of the crime will contribute to the examination of European legal norms and to the research of the possibility of including some provisions in the legal framework of the Republic of Moldova. Similarly, the good practices of European countries will be taken into account through the elements of comparative criminal law.
