TORO-ALVAREZ, Marlon Mike. The cybercrime control. Exploratory analysis of sentences and supervision measures. Rev. logos cienc. tecnol. [online]. 2023, vol.15, n.2, pp.162-173.  Epub Aug 18, 2023. ISSN 2145-594X.  https://doi.org/10.22335/rlct.v15i2.1768.

The process of prosecuting and sentencing individuals who have violated the law takes into account different factors, among which are the sentencing guidelines, which provide a guide for judges to orientate their decisions during the prosecution process. However, the variety of crimes and the evolution of cybercrime require that these criteria be applied differently, especially when new technologies are involved, in the case of cybercrimes involving child sexual abuse material (CSAM) those criteria may differ in the guidelines that apply to the other forms of cybercrime. For this reason, the present study analysed 14 documented cases in order tocharacterise the differences in the applications of the sentences and investigate the forms of supervision for cybercriminals under probation. Finally, this study invites us to reflect on the challenges posed by technological advances in crime control and the need for proactive measures to improve the response of institutions in the containment and investigation of cybercrimes involving CSAM.

Keywords : cybercrime; computer crime; child pornography; CSAM; sentence.
