Computational forensics

a perfect world the need for determining the activity conducted in a network or within a computer would not be necessary; however, this is not a perfect world and there are times when it is imperative that the activity of a computer be monitored. Forensic analysis has been a central part of criminal investigations. Computers and digital devices have become a common component. According, to Fortune Subscribe “The Florida Computer Crimes Act of 1978 included legislation against the unauthorized…

The word forensic derives from the Latin word “forensis” which means to be publicly known or heard. Most forensic scientists in the 1800 and 1900’s were self- taught but even now there are not many colleges that are certified to give a degree in forensics. Forensic science has been around since 44 B.C. but it wasn’t recognized as a method of science until the late 20th century. Forensic science is an asset in solving crime. Forensic science has become so popular in the past twenty- five years. I…

that of the coroner, which is now primarily called a medical examiner. While the office of the coroner has always been an elected position, the requirements to fulfill the position have changed radically since then, thanks to the introduction of forensic medicine. They have become more restricted and refined in the way that decisions are made. These advancements have been the pathway into helping coroners and medical examiners make decisions into the causes of death they investigate, and more…

interesting crime shows on television today that a great deal of today’s society follow. Shows such as CSI, Law and Order, Forensic Files, and NCIS are becoming increasingly popular and the way the shows are scripted makes for compelling television. While these shows are indeed interesting, they are giving viewers a false sense of knowledge when it comes to the real world of forensic science and the criminal justice system as a whole. The “CSI Effect” is causing everyday jurors to feel more…

be exhausting, so get some rest”, “we might contact you earlier to arrange an earlier delivery”! (Crimemuseum.org, 2015). What kind of criminal is that? This is ludicrous and pathetic that they introduced all the forensic evidence and made no arrests, could not match any of the forensic evidence that they announced, but the evidence that was promising there was no pursuit or strong investigative effort to place the Ramsey’s in…

163). Crime labs can provide personnel to assist investigators during the processing of the crime scene to recognize, identify, collect, and preserve physical evidence by using sophisticated forensic equipment, crime lab personnel can also assist with sketching, documentation, and photography of the crime scene (Buckles, 2006, p. 164). During the analysis of evidence crime labs provide different kinds of analysis services such as latent fingerprint…

Abstract: Developed by Dr. Lawrence Farwell, the brain fingerprinting scheme has become the most reliable and accurate lie detectors, surpassing the polygraph test. It is based on the theory which states that; while a criminal act is being committed there may or may not be any electronic devices present, however, the brain is undoubtedly always present and it takes part planning, executing and recording the crime. The Brain Fingerprinting design employs electroencephalography (EEG) in order to…

.1. Introduction: Forensic Science: Forensic may be defined as the Application of Science to law. This is the application of Scientific methods to decide questions arising from crime or litigation. In forensic science, the DNA properties are used in investigation to include a suspect or exclude a suspect from a criminal case like rape, assault even from small drops of semen, blood, or small pieces of hair, nails, etc. In forensic analysis certain regions of DNA are analyzed and respective…

Forensic applies to courts or the judicial system, combine that with science and forensic science mean applying scientific methods and processes to solving crime. Forensic Science deals with the application of the knowledge and methodology of various disciplines of science to legal matters. It involves the use of multiple disciplines such as physics, chemistry, biology, computer science and engineering for evidence analysis. For instance, physics is used to understand the pattern of a blood…
