Abstract:

Just as the use of technology to assist in everyday activities has
increased significantly in the past decade, the use of the same
technology by criminals has also increased. This talk will explore the
role evidence sourced from digital devices plays in criminal
investigations. It will also address the common misconception that
digital evidence is only relevant to computer related crime. A series
of case studies will examine how digital evidence has assisted in the
successful prosecution of offences including fraud, murder and serious
assaults.

About the Speaker:
