{"product_id":"digital-forensics-isbn-9780470517758","title":"Digital Forensics","description":"The vast majority of modern criminal investigations involve some element of digital evidence, from mobile phones, computers, CCTV and other devices. \u003ci\u003eDigital Forensics: Digital Evidence in Criminal Investigations\u003c\/i\u003e 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.  \u003cp\u003eTaking 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. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes \u003cb\u003eworked case examples, test questions\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003ereview quizzes\u003c\/b\u003e to enhance student understanding\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSolutions provided in an \u003cb\u003eaccompanying website\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes numerous \u003cb\u003ecase studies\u003c\/b\u003e throughout to highlight how digital evidence is handled at the crime scene and what can happen when procedures are carried out incorrectly\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConsiders \u003cb\u003edigital evidence in a broader context\u003c\/b\u003e alongside other scientific evidence\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDiscusses the role of digital devices in criminal activities\u003c\/b\u003e and provides methods for the evaluation and prioritizing of evidence sources\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes discussion of the issues surrounding modern digital evidence examinations, for example; volume of material and its complexity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eClear overview of all types of digital evidence\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDigital Forensics: Digital Evidence in Criminal Investigations\u003c\/i\u003e 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.
