Cibercrimes e Humanidades Digitais - Uma investigação transdisciplinar sobre o caso da segurança pública brasileira

Abstract

The internet has brought, among other advances, agility, and ease of use of distributed services, the massive production of data has changed and continues to transform relationships between people, organizations, and governments. However, despite of these benefits, criminal organizations have also evolved and adapted, starting to operate intensively in this new digital territory, including taking advantage of the global reach of their actions, geopolitical instabilities, and the difficulties of national States in protecting their citizens against cybercrimes. This dissertation has a transdisciplinary approach, it seeks to investigate the intersection of the Digital Humanities and the process of digital transformation, focusing on the growing phenomenon of cybercrime. In this work we developed a method to create and analyse a dataset related to cybercrimes that occurred between the years 2006 and 2021, we collected real data from more than 30 Brazilian public security institutions. Data were analysed qualitatively and quantitatively to understand the Brazilian scenario of cybercrime. Additionally, this dissertation also presents and discusses a conceptual proposal of a computational artifact that can be considered as an initial contribution to increase cyber resilience of Brazilian State or augment cyber security of public institutions to support citizens regarding the mitigation of problems related to most serious cybercrimes.
