ALSA 2025 meeting

Technological crimes have a financial objective and victims want compensation, so financial and communication trails are investigated to stop or seize assets and bringing it to the victims' aid may restore hope for the victims and increase the motivation of government officials to prosecute effectively in preventing and suppressing technology crimes. However, post-violation remedies are difficult and ineffective, both in terms of criminal prosecution and civil remedies for damages especially if analyzed from the perspective of the victim who may decide to drop the lawsuit because of many limitations. Victims presume less opportunity for redress for their damages, and it is unlikely that they will be able to get redress from transnational criminal organizations. Therefore, the establishment of measures to prevent and deter crimes, reduce damages, or track down assets and wrongdoings of transnational criminal organizations and provide compensation to victims might be more appropriate approach and creates an incentive for victims to enter the justice process until the end of the process, leading to effective prevention and suppression of technological crimes.
