Abstract
Background and Aim: In the field of criminal law, the main priority of government activities is crime prevention. Situational prevention as a non-criminal prevention method helps to control and reduce the level of crimes committed, including in cyberspace, by reducing and eliminating the opportunities or grounds and situations of crime. The purpose of this study is to examine the challenges of non-criminal cybercrime prevention strategies in relation to the right to privacy and the right to freedom of expression.
Materials and Methods: This research has been done by descriptive-analytical method. The method of collecting information is library and its tools are documents, books and articles.
Ethical Considerations: In order to organize this research, originality of the text and the ethical principles of honesty and fidelity have been observed.
Findings: On the one hand, the right to privacy in the three areas of electronic surveillance, material surveillance and the formation of regulatory communities is facing a fundamental challenge and on the other hand, the right to freedom of expression is restricted and violated due to low bandwidth, certain and limited search engines as well as refining software.
Conclusion: Non-criminal cybercrime prevention strategies will effectively hold the government responsible for violating human rights obligations regarding the right to freedom of expression and the right to privacy. In connection with the right to freedom of expression, the system of aggravated responsibility for the government should be considered, because the right to freedom and its instances are part of the rules of public international law, but in relation to the right to privacy, current responsibility system seems to be consistent.
