KARŞILAŞTIRMALI HUKUK BAĞLAMINDA BİRLEŞİK KRALLIK İNGİLTERE HUKUKUNDA BİLİŞİM SUÇLARI MEVZUATI VE UYGULAMASI

Öz

Bu makalenin konusunu karşılaştırmalı hukuk bağlamında Birleşik Krallık İngiltere hukukunda bilişim suçlarına ilişkin mevzuat ve bunun uygulanması oluşturmaktadır. Bu amaçla Birleşik Krallık’ta bu alanı düzenleyen temel yasalar ve bu yasalarda yer alan suç tipleri incelenmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra uygulamayı göstermek için belli bazı davalardaki savcılığın suçlaması, savunma avukatlarının savunmaları ve yargı makamlarının verdiği kararlar incelenmiştir. Bu alanda Birleşik Krallık hukukunun seçilmesinin öne çıkan nedenleri bu ülkede bilişim suçlarının sıklıkla işlenmesi ve uluslararası boyutunun olması, günlük yaşamın ve iş yaşamının büyük ölçüde bilişim sistemlerine bağlı olması ve devlet olarak bu suçlarla mücadelenin bir politika olarak seçilmesidir. Mevzuat ve uygulamadan örnekler verilirken, Anglo Amerikan hukuk sisteminin önemli bir üyesi olan Birleşik Devletler’in mevzuatı ve mahkeme kararlarına da yer verilmiştir. Sonuç olarak hem Anglo Amerikan sisteminin hem de Avrupa Konseyi’nin bir üyesi olarak bu sisteme dahil olan Birleşik Krallık’ın bilişim suçlarına ilişkin rejimi incelenerek, bu açıdan ülkemizle arada bir köprü kurulmaya çalışılmıştır
