Résumé

Digital evidence - evidence that is stored or transmitted using computers - can be useful in any investigation, including homicide, child exploitation, computer intrusion, and corporate malfeasance. The scope of computer crime has expanded further with the proliferation of networks, mobile devices, and equipment with computers embedded in them. Digital evidence from these systems can help establish when events occurred, where victims and suspects were, with whom they communicated, and may even show their intent to commit a crime.

Despite the ubiquity of computer-facilitated crime, few people are well versed in the technical, investigative and legal issues related to digital evidence. As a result, digital evidence is often overlooked, collected incorrectly, or analyzed ineffectively.

Digital Evidence and Computer Crime, Second Edition provides the knowledge and skills necessary to uncover and use digital evidence effectively in any kind of investigation. This text articulates the many facets of handling and utilizing digital evidence, providing a valuable resource for digital investigators in law enforcement, computer security, and the military. It will also serve to inform attorneys and judges who deal with cases involving digital evidence.

In addition to updated and expanded coverage on topics included in the first edition, this edition contains ten new chapters that include coverage of the investigative process, investigative reconstruction, sex offenders on the Internet, as well as how to examine Windows, UNIX, Macintosh, and handheld computers. Relevant legal issues from both the U.S. and European perspectives are discussed as is deductive criminal profiling, a systematic approach to focusing an investigation and understanding criminal motivations.
