Abstract
The rapid growth of information and communication technologies determined the occurrence of new hardware, software components and other applications, which were exploited in a form of other by criminal organizations. The way in which offenders in cyberspace exploit the new technologies is really remarkable. The number of different cyber operations including cyber attacks are rising. Cyber threats represents serious risks to both public and private sectors, endangering cyber security of individual states and international security as a whole. Cyber attacks consists of various actions desrupting, denying or destroying computers and computers networks. In the author's view any activity in cyber space must comply with the rules of international law. This article explores the varying conceptualisations of cybercrime before identifying tensions in the production of criminological knowledge that are causing the rhetoric to be confused with reality. Also analyzes the main directions of crime prevention in Ukraine. Considering the issue of counteracting cybercrime, it is advisable to join those criminologists who distinguish the general social, special-criminological and individual ways of counteraction. The cybercrime at the general social level (direction) includes a set of promising socio-economic, organizational, administrative, ideological, cultural and educational and other measures aimed at solving urgent social problems and contradictions in the country. It is the realization of general social measures of prevention that allows to eliminate or minimize the influence of criminogenic determinants of cybercrime, to prevent the formation of an offender's personality.
