Digital Evidence in Criminal Law

Details and specs

Digital Evidence in Criminal Law addresses the legal issues relating to digital evidence collected during the course of a criminal investigation and its subsequent use at trial. It surveys key technologies such as cookies, web-cases, and recovery methods, and explains them in a simple, easy-to-understand fashion.

The book includes a discussion on the different types of evidence, where they can be found, who the required witnesses are, and the challenges of obtaining and preserving digital evidence in the first place.

Special emphasis is placed upon digital evidence generated by the police and seized from suspects. It further covers the effect on the law of evidence that has resulted from the internet communications revolution.
