Digital Crime And Forensic Science in Cyberspace

Forensics—the process, means, and methods for collecting crime evidence—can be said to date back to the 18th century stemming from forensic medicine and studies of anatomy and fingerprints. Crime manifests itself in various ways and forms and digital crime is the newest one. As the essence of the various forms of crime has remained unaltered throughout the passage of time, it is safe to assume that digital crime will exhibit this property too and it is this “permanence” factor that makes imperative for organizations and individuals to understand the issues and complexities that arise.
