20.500.12556/DKUM-71465 Kriminaliteta, povezana s kriptovalutami in drugimi digitalnimi sredstvi diplomsko delo visokošolskega študijskega programa Varnost in policijsko delo Cryptocurrency and Other Digital Asset-Related Crime Kriptovalute in druga digitalna sredstva postajajo vse bolj pomemben del današnje ekonomije in družbe. Kot vsako pomembnejše sredstvo so tudi digitalna sredstva privlačna za posameznike, ki iščejo način hitrega zaslužka ali pa želijo zbrati več premoženja, kot bi sicer zakonito lahko. Vsekakor je najpomembnejše čim bolj učinkovito odkrivanje kaznivih dejanj, povezanih s kriptovalutami in drugimi digitalnimi sredstvi, in kaznovanje storilcev. Naše hipoteze smo temeljili na spremembah, ki so se pojavile od nastanka prve prave kriptovalute po imenu Bitcoin. Za to smo se odločili, ker menimo, da nas lahko dobro poznavanje preteklosti privede do boljšega razumevanja in učinkovitejšega napovedovanja prihodnosti obsega kriminalitete, povezane z digitalnimi sredstvi. Zanima nas predvsem povezava med nastankom kriptovalut in porastom kriminalitete – še posebej če lahko morebiten porast kriminalitete povezujemo z digitalnimi sredstvi. Skozi raziskovanje smo ugotovili, da bistvene povezave ni, saj zgolj določen delež oseb izvršuje kazniva dejanja. Prav tako menimo, da bodo digitalna sredstva pripomogla k porastu števila kaznivih dejanj, vsekakor pa bodo storilci za določena kazniva dejanja raje uporabili anonimne kriptovalute, kot bančni sistem zaradi delne ali popolne anonimnosti, kar uporabnikom zagotavlja tehnologija veriženja podatkovnih blokov. Odkar obstaja človeštvo, smo priča dogodkom, pri katerih je vsaj en oškodovanec. Ljudje so v preteklosti že kradli zlato, predmete, živino, denar, hrano ali karkoli drugega, kar je bilo v določenem obdobju najbolj vredno. Dandanes so najbolj vredne stvari večinoma shranjene v sefih ali na spletu – v primerjavi s preteklostjo, ko so najbolj vredne stvari bile shranjene zunaj mest, na kmetijah, saj je šlo za živali, ki so jih določeni storilci kradli. Menimo, da se storitve kaznivih dejanj ne bodo ustavile, temveč se bodo zgolj spreminjale glede na globalen razvoj. Cryptocurrencies and other digital assets are becoming an important part of today’s economy and society. As with any major asset, digital assets attract the attention of criminals that are lurking for an easy way to earn money or a way to acquire more wealth than they ever legally could. Discovering cryptocurrency and other digital asset-related crimes and sentencing the criminals is of utmost importance. Our hypotheses were based on the changes that occurred after the introduction of the first real cryptocurrency named Bitcoin. This is because learning about the past can greatly simplify future predictions, so that we are able to know what to expect in a few years’ time in terms of digital asset related crime popularity. We also were interested in the correlation between crime and the genesis of the first cryptocurrencies – especially if the crime increased because of digital assets. This turned out not to be the case because there is a limited amount of people who are involved in committing crimes. We do not believe digital assets will make crimes more common, however, we believe that nowadays, many illicit activities could be a part of the blockchain instead of the traditional banking systems because of the partial or full anonymity which blockchain technology provides to its users. Since the beginning of time, there have always been activities in which one was in a role of a victim. People stole each other’s gold, belongings, cattle, money, food or anything else valuable at that time. In the modern age, the most valuable things are usually stored somewhere online or in vaults - unlike more than hundred years ago when one of the most valuable things, outside the largest cities, were animals which were many times subject to theft. In our opinion, crime never stops – it’s just that most valuable things in society at any given time will attract criminals which is subject to change with the rapid global development. diplomske naloge kriptovalute digitalna sredstva kriminaliteta cryptocurrencies crime digital assets true true false [M.
