Computer Crime and Digital Evidence:What Every Police Chief Should Know

摘要

Name one major crime that has nothing to do with digital evidence. This is a difficult task since digital media has entered every aspect of modern life, as it has also entered the lives of criminals. Even the most mundane activities are touched by digital media. Some of them are obvious, such as visiting an ATM or using a global positioning system (GPS) device to get directions to a destination. Others are more subtle, such as walking the aisle of a local grocery store while being filmed on digital cameras and mundane activities such as paying for gas through a credit card transaction. These are just a few examples of how people are exposed to, use, and are tracked with digital media.
