Computer Forensics: Cybercriminals, Laws, and Evidence: .

by Marie-Helen Maras

Balancing technicality and legal analysis, Computer Cybercriminals, Laws, and Evidence enters into the world of cybercrime by exploring what it is, how it is investigated, and the regulatory laws around the collection and use of electronic evidence. Students are introduced to the technology involved in computer forensic investigations and the technical and legal difficulties involved in searching, extracting, maintaining and storing electronic evidence, while simultaneously looking at the legal implications of such investigations and the rules of legal procedure relevant to electronic evidence. Significant and current computer forensic developments are examined, as well as the implications for a variety of fields including computer science, security, criminology, law, public policy and administration.

[Renee · Rating 3 out of 5]

Yes, I can actually say I read the whole book (minus the chapter questions and glossary and index). I found lots of the information interesting, but for most people, I would not recommend this book. If you just want a fun, fast, interesting read to learn a little bit about computer forensics, this would not be the book for you. If you want to learn lots and don't mind a longer read, then go for it! This book is good for people who know little about computers because Maras gives definitions throughout the book. If you know little about law and court (like me), you'll still be able to understand this book; Maras gives details on how court and law works.
Warning: You may get paranoid after reading this book. Maras is not shy to discuss crimes and cybercrimes, so don't read this book before going to bed unless you want to have nightmares.
