The article discusses the problem of psychological and criminological prevention of crimes committed by means of communication technology. Criminological prevention of crimes means that investigators (detectives), operational officers, as well as specialists and experts use the technical resources, techniques and methods which are aimed at identifying and eliminating the causes of crimes and the conditions conducive to their commission.
