The Council of Europe adopted the Convention on Cybercrime in 2001, and it entered into force on July 1, 2004. The Convention represents the first international treaty on crimes committed via the Internet and other computer networks, dealing particularly with infringements of copyright, computer-related fraud, child abuse materials, and violations of network security. The Additional Protocol to the Convention on Cybercrime, concerning the criminalization of acts of a racist and xenophobic nature committed through computer systems, entered into force on March 1, 2006. Serbia has signed and ratified both the Cybercrime Convention and the First Additional Protocol in 2009. On November 17, 2021, the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe adopted the Second Additional Protocol to the Convention on Cybercrime on enhanced cooperation and disclosure of electronic evidence. As a response, the Protocol provides a legal basis for disclosure of domain name registration information and for direct cooperation with service providers for subscriber information; an effective means to obtain subscriber information and traffic data; immediate cooperation in emergencies; mutual assistance tools; and personal data protection safeguards. The signing of the Second Additional Protocol will be held in May 2022, and Serbia will probably sign it. The paper analyzes the solutions achieved in the fight against cybercrime, as well as Serbia's cooperation with the Council of Europe in this area.
The paper presents research aimed at analysing the frequency of verbal and vocal signs in a situation of false and true statements, by introducing a secondary task. The research involved 100 students (47 men and 53 women) of the master's studies of criminal investigation at the University of Criminal Investigation and Police Studies, aged 23-44. Students had the task, based on the observation of twenty selected videos (10 true statements and 10 false statements), to mark the frequency of each individual verbal and vocal sign, on a previously generated and prepared list. The results show that there is a statistically significant difference in terms of the frequency of all verbal and vocal signs in a false or true statement: response latency, speech hesitation, speech errors, speech rate, number of spoken words in the utterance, and length of utterance. Response latency, speech hesitation, and speech errors have higher median values in false utterances than in true ones, while speech rate, number of words spoken, and length of utterance show higher median values in true than false utterances.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
