Finding patterns in data can significantly accelerate research and investigation. When applied to internal police data, the case details which are not made public, cluster analysis can be the difference between life and death.
AN OVERVIEW OF DIGITAL FORENSICS
In order for the investigative evidence to be upheld in court as ‘best evidence’, methodologies and technologies have become developed for investigators to adhere to, in order that the evidence can satisfy the strict scrutiny of evidence as mandated by court rules. As time has progressed from the 1980s, data is now extracted from numerous devices, such as; computers, computer networks, offsite data storage networks, data cloud storage, cell phones, digital pads and tablets, loose media storage devices (thumb drives, diskettes, CD-ROMs, DVDs, etc.), automobiles, surveillance cameras, the Internet of Things (IoT) such as Echo and Alexa and other devices, drones, and many other devices that can store electronic data. Therefore, the term ‘Computer Forensics’ is now referred to as ‘Digital Forensics’.
