Abstract
The rapid development of information and communication technologies has significantly transformed the nature of criminal activity, leading to a steady increase in cybercrime committed through global Internet networks. This trend poses serious challenges to law enforcement agencies, particularly internal affairs bodies responsible for crime prevention. Traditional preventive mechanisms are often insufficient to address the complexity, anonymity, and transnational character of cybercrime.
This article examines the current preventive practices of internal affairs bodies in combating cybercrime and identifies key institutional, legal, and organizational shortcomings. Based on a systematic and comparative legal analysis, the study proposes scientifically grounded approaches to improving cybercrime prevention through proactive, technology-based, and multidisciplinary strategies. The findings contribute to the development of an effective preventive model that enhances law enforcement capacity in the digital environment.
