Information Technology as a Source of Corruption-Related Criminal Danger

The modern development of society is accompanied by large-scale transformations associated with the expansion of opportunities and the widespread use of information technology. Significant changes in social conditions lead to a qualitative transformation of corruption-related crime, while traditional approaches to countering it are losing their effectiveness. In this regard, the formation of a theory of anti-corruption criminological security becomes particularly relevant. The core idea of this theory is to shift the focus from punitive responses to crime as a source of danger to the development of an integrated system of protective mechanisms that ensure the resilience and adaptability of protected objects to the evolving spectrum of corruption-related criminal threats. Information technologies occupy a dual position in the context of this theory. Due to their social and infrastructural significance, they act as a central object of anti-corruption criminological security. At the same time, given the specifics of their functioning and the current state of legal regulation, information technologies also constitute a source of corruption-related criminal danger. The dialectical nature of an object of security and a source of danger determines the need to develop a comprehensive strategy for ensuring anti-corruption criminological security of information technologies. This strategy should aim to achieve a balance between technological progress and the management of corruption risks in the context of the digitalization of society.
