The vast majority of modern criminal investigations involve some
element of digital evidence, from mobile phones, computers, CCTV
and other devices. "Digital Forensics: Digital Evidence in Criminal
Investigations" provides the reader with a better understanding of
how digital evidence complements "traditional" scientific evidence
and examines how it can be used more effectively and efficiently in
a range of investigations.
Taking a new approach to the topic, this book presents digital
evidence as an adjunct to other types of evidence and discusses how
it can be deployed effectively in support of investigations. The
book provides investigators/SSMs/other managers with sufficient
contextual and technical information to be able to make more
effective use of digital evidence sources in support of a range of
investigations. In particular, it considers the roles played by
digital devices in society and hence in criminal activities. From
this, it examines the role and nature of evidential data which may
be recoverable from a range of devices, considering issues relating
to reliability and usefulness of those data. Includes worked case
examples, test questions and review quizzes to enhance student
understandingSolutions provided in an accompanying websiteIncludes
numerous case studies throughout to highlight how digital evidence
is handled at the crime scene and what can happen when procedures
are carried out incorrectlyConsiders digital evidence in a broader
context alongside other scientific evidenceDiscusses the role of
digital devices in criminal activities and provides methods for the
evaluation and prioritizing of evidence sourcesIncludes discussion
of the issues surrounding modern digital evidence examinations, for

types of digital evidence
"Digital Forensics: Digital Evidence in Criminal Investigations"
is an invaluable text for undergraduate students taking either
general forensic science courses where digital forensics may be a
module or a dedicated computer/digital forensics degree course. The
book is also a useful overview of the subject for postgraduate
students and forensic practitioners.
