THE POSSIBILITY OF SUBJECTING DIGITAL DRUGS TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE JORDANIAN PENAL LEGISLATION
Main Article Content
Abstract
Lately, we have witnessed the emergence of what is known as digital drugs, audio files containing different musical tones and notes, which will affect the human brain in a way that is comparable to the effects of traditional drugs. They are promoted and trafficked through electronic websites, which have been met with great interest by young people and adolescents suffering from psychological and social problems, after they were misled by those who promote them on these sites, unaware of the serious effects they cause on the mind and senses.
The study indicated that because of the novelty of this type of crime, which uses technology as a means of committing it, it has not yet taken a legislative framework that puts it in a position to criminalize and punish it. Jordanian penal legislation - whether the penal code, the drug law or the electronic crimes law - is devoid of any provision criminalizing this phenomenon, and this is due to its novelty. The meaning of the punishable drugs in this legislation differs from that of digital drugs, which requires legislative intervention to address them in order to prevent the dangers arising from them at the individual and society as a whole. The study made a number of conclusions and recommendations.
