Judicial problems and solutions for observation crimes committed through IT systems

Abstract

With the development of technology and the introduction of the Internet and information systems in every aspect of our lives, new regulations have been made in our laws, with the anticipation that these systems will gain a dangerous dimension with the use of these systems by individuals for committing crimes. Information crimes are regulated in the Turkish Penal Code No.5237. However, some crimes regulated the Turkish criminal law can be committed by information systems, although they are not regulated separately as cybercrimes. This study aims to deal with the issue of obscenity crime, which is one of these types of crime and is of great importance since its definition may change over time, and it is commonly committed through information systems. This study will focus on the most common situations we encounter in practice in terms of obscenity crime. The researcher makes explanations with the Supreme Court Decisions by addressing the problems that arise in terms of Criminal Procedure Law.
