الجريمة الإلكترونية في التشريع الجزائري

Abstract

The Algerian society, like other societies, has witnessed rapid development in the field of information and communication technology, which has led to the emergence of new types of crimes known as cybercrimes. These crimes are considered among the most significant negative consequences of digital advancement. They range from hacking personal accounts to attacks on information systems of major institutions, and even targeting intelligence agencies, thus posing a real threat to both individual and institutional security. In response to this phenomenon, the Algerian legislator has intervened by enacting a series of substantive and procedural legal texts in an attempt to keep pace with this emerging type of crime. An analysis of these efforts has led to several findings, most notably the adoption of a dual policy in combating cybercrime and the introduction of special laws that align with the complex nature of such offenses. The study also recommends strengthening judicial, security, and legislative cooperation with Arab and Western countries that possess greater expertise in combating cybercrime, in order to benefit from their advanced experiences in this field. Keywords: traditional crime, cybercrime, Algerian legislation, technological revolution, media and communication tools.
