Abstract
Résumé : Cet article cherche à établir si la numérisation de la société́ devrait conduire à une adaptation des théories en criminologie comparée ou si elle entraîne un changement de paradigme explicatif. Il montre que la numérisation est un phénomène plus global que la modernisation et que les indicateurs traditionnels de la criminalité n’ont pas bien saisi son impact sur la délinquance online et hybride. Ensuite, il présente les perspectives de la Modernisation, de la Civilisation, des Opportunités et du Système-monde qui constituent les quatre grandes approches théoriques en criminologie comparée. Pour chaque théorie, l’accent est mis sur les avantages et limitations qu’elle présente à l’heure d’expliquer la cybercriminalité́. L’analyse permet de conclure que la numérisation entraîne un changement de paradigme qui exige une adaptation des unités d’observation utilisées dans les recherches, des délits étudiés et des instruments utilisés pour mesurer la délinquance, ainsi qu’une remise en question des théories traditionnelles en criminologie comparée dont certaines semblent obsolètes et d’autres doivent impérativement être mises à jour.
Abstract: This article seeks to establish whether the digitalization of society should lead to an adaptation of the theories usually applied in comparative criminology or whether it entails a paradigm shift. It shows that digitalization is a much more global phenomenon than the modernization of society, and that traditional crime measures have not fully grasped its impact on online and hybrid offences. The article presents the Modernization, Civilization, Opportunity, and World-System perspectives, which constitute the four major theoretical approaches in comparative criminology. The presentation of each theory focuses on its advantages and limitations when explaining cybercrime. The analysis concludes that the digitalization of society involves a paradigm shift that requires introducing several changes when conducting research in comparative criminology. In particular, it demands an adaptation of the units of observation, the offences studied, and the instruments used to measure delinquency. This represents a major challenge for the current theoretical approaches, some of which seem obsolete, while the rest must be imperatively updated.
