Abstract

With the continuous development of the network, many new types of fraud also came into being, and “pig butchering” is a representative crime. This type of crime takes advantage of the weakness of human nature, that is, the lack of emotional life. In the face of this crime, the purpose of this article is to take an easy look at the new cyber crime of “pig butchering” from the perspective of criminal law. The purpose of this article is to show how to prevent and control this type of cybercrime and what countermeasures people should adopt in the face of these problems. It is argued that to solve the problem it requires the police to cooperate with the work of the judiciary while reducing errors in the investigation and collection of evidence. For another aspect, this new form of network fraud crime could be a challenge for the judical system. The difficulties in identifying accomplices in the crime is also worthy of attention.
