Theme

“Beyond Traditional Criminality: New Crimes, New Technologies and New Forms of Criminal Responsibility”

The rapidly evolving technological landscape has transformed the nature, scope and manifestations of criminality, giving rise to new forms of crime that challenge traditional concepts of criminal law and responsibility.

Artificial intelligence, deepfakes, cyber technologies, cryptocurrencies and other emerging technologies have created complex questions concerning attribution, mens rea, liability and enforcement. This Special Edition seeks to explore emerging forms of criminality and examine how criminal law can respond to technologically driven offences while safeguarding constitutional rights, human dignity and the principles of justice.

Contributions are invited that critically examine contemporary developments, emerging legal challenges and the future directions of criminal law and criminal justice.
