CRIMES INFORMÁTICOS NO ORDENAMENTO JURÍDICO MOÇAMBICANO

The purpose of this research is to address computer or cyber crimes in Mozambique. In view of the paradigmatic changes promoted by globalization and advances in technology, the use of the internet has become an environment that facilitates the practice of violence in the virtual world. The information society has enabled several technical and social changes, creating global and instant communication, facilitating communication in different areas. An analysis was made on ICTs and Law, presenting their main aspects, the terminological analysis and concept of computer or cyber crime, as well as the classification of computer or cyber crimes and active and passive subjects. The practice of this type of crime has increased with the capabilities that the Internet offers its users (anonymity, simplicity, agility of communication, ease of sharing cross-border data and potential to reach the target audience). Cyberspace has thus become an instrument for "good" users, as well as for individuals who take advantage of the benefits of the universal information network with a view to carrying out the most diverse types of crime. In this logic, there is a need for justice to take action and provide solutions to current problems, seeking to apply a law that is up to date.
