INTRODUCTION The term forensic investigation refers to the use of science or technology in the investigation and establishment of facts or evidences to be used in legal cases or other proceedings. The scope of forensic analysis varies from information retrieval to reconstructing series of events that have occurred in the past. In this paper we would be discussing the meaning of the term ‘COMPUTER FORENSICS’, its uses, the users of computer forensics, steps involved in this type of forensic investigation
But when discussed in depth, the meaning and application of 5W and 1 H on digital evidence and chain of custody among researchers are different from each other. Some have suggested that the 5W and 1 H aspects must always exist in every stage of forensic activity and its interaction with digital evidence, but there is also meaning that the aspect is sufficient to describe the initial process when obtaining digital evidence. In the context of recording interactions with digital evidence, the meaning
According to some researchers, forensic is sub-divided into some categories: 1. Criminalistics is a subdivision of forensic science that analyzes and answer questions related to biological evidence, trace evidence, proof prints (such as fingerprints, footwear impressions, tire tracks and cars), controlled substances (chemicals that are banned by the government because it could lead to the potential for abuse or addiction), ballistics (examination of firearms) and other evidence found at a crime scene
Forensic Science Career Forensic science plays a fundamental role in the criminal justice structure. It is known that every career route has its own ins and outs. A career in the field of forensic science is not an exception. Forensic science is the supplement of science to law. It has become extremely popular among law students nowadays. Everyone has its own grounds to be engaged in this profession. Nowadays there is a wide variety of TV series inspiring young minds to take up career of Forensic
the advent of information storage and the ease of computer access as well as the rise of social media, so too has the need for tools in electronic criminal investigation as well as a new and more focused informational gathering science that we know today as computer forensics (Holt & Bossler, 2012). A person may ask why the relevance of computer forensics in our daily lives? There is a twofold concept to this first is “detection” of computer forensics where as it entails more along the lines of prevention
subject to forensic analysis. Also, some jurors may believe that forensic science is a perfect science that's always accurate, however they are ignoring the possibility of human or technical error. In the movie “The Real CSI”, it is stated that someone can be considered an expert based on knowledge, skill, experience, training or education, the real issue is that once a judge says they can testify they are considered an expert in their specific field. There are many problems in the forensic science
workplace and education sectors. Collaboration technology has only improved since the invention of the smartphone and will continue to move forward with newer and more improved technologies. With technology moving so fast, and as Bell's Law states some computer classes will die out as new one's emerge (and we don't know which new ones will emerge) there is no telling where it will be incorporated next; whether it's webcams in self-driving cars, collaboration software provided and widely used by education
Introduction and development of Forensic accounting The term forensic auditing started from the 1940’s and has taken significant Place in this modern economy.” In the late 1940s, forensic auditing proved its worth during World War II; however, formalized procedures were not put in place until the 1980s when major academic studies in the field were published (Rasey 2009). Forensic auditing is the specialty area of the accountancy profession which describes engagements that result from actual or anticipated
scientist to identify the cause of disturbance and help to diagnose and prevent the disease. They can work with chemists, biotechnologists, genetics, genetic engineers, pathologist, environmentalists, civil engineers, and geologist. They also use computers, laboratory when they conduct an
different frauds, each type of fraud needs to be dealt accordingly rather than just implementing what is already present. The failure of internal auditing system to prevent such malpractice has led to the use a more effective system known as the forensic
