Deciphering the threat: informational and analytical foundations for police training on encrypted criminal networks. The cases of Ukraine, England, and Germany

Résumé fourni par la source

This article interprets, from a hermeneutic and documentary perspective, the informational and analytical foundations that recent academic literature identifies as necessary for the training of police forces in dealing with encrypted criminal networks, based on a comparative analysis of documented experiences in Ukraine, England, and Germany. Methodologically, a critical hermeneutic approach was applied to a selection of documentary sources of proven academic value — excluding all gray literature — through a process of comprehensive reading, comparative critical analysis, and interpretive synthesis. The results show that effective police training requires, beyond technical mastery of decryption, an understanding of the fluid organizational logic of criminal networks and of the legal and ethical tensions inherent in digital surveillance within each national context analyzed. It is concluded that public safety cannot be built at the expense of fundamental rights, and that any police training that ignores this ontological tension ultimately produces officers who are technically competent but institutionally dangerous. This conclusion stems from the stance of engagement that characterizes critical criminology, without claiming that a neutral interpretation of the problem of encrypted criminal networks in today's world is possible.
