Seminar on “Cybercrime from the Perspective of Criminal Law” at TDTU
On May 21, 2025, at Ton Duc Thang University (TDTU), the scientific seminar titled “Cybercrime from the Perspective of Criminal Law” took place, attended by distinguished guests including scientists, experts, and lecturers from reputable legal training institutions, practitioners from law enforcement agencies, bar associations, and legal practice units. The seminar also welcomed leaders of Departments and Faculties under TDTU, lecturers, and more than 300 students from TDTU’s Faculty of Law and the Faculty of Law under the People’s Police University (PPU).
The objective of the seminar was to create an academic forum for scientists, experts, lecturers, students, and practitioners to discuss, critically evaluate, and propose solutions aimed at identifying, improving, and enhancing the effectiveness of criminal law in preventing and combating cybercrime. In the context of the strong development of Industry 4.0 and digital transformation, cyberspace offers many opportunities but also harbors numerous risks and challenges, especially the increasing occurrence of criminal acts. Cybercrime not only causes economic losses but also threatens national security, social order and safety, as well as the legitimate rights and interests of organizations and individuals.
Delivering a speech at the seminar, Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Son – Vice President of TDTU and Head of the Faculty of Law – emphasized that the seminar on “Cybercrime from the Perspective of Criminal Law” holds great significance, contributing to clarifying both theoretical and practical issues related to cybercrime. He also noted that the seminar is a special event marking the close cooperation between the Faculty of Law under TDTU and the Faculty of Law under PPU in training, scientific research, and exchanges between lecturers and students of the two faculties.
The seminar selected 24 in-depth papers on cybercrime to be included in the proceedings. These papers focused on issues such as identifying cybercrime from theoretical and legal perspectives, challenges posed to Vietnamese criminal law, international experiences, and recommendations for improving the legal framework governing cybercrime.
In addition to the main presentations, the seminar also featured lively and diverse ideas from experts, researchers, legal practitioners, lecturers, and students from both Faculties, contributing to a deeper understanding of the topics discussed.
