Description:

Many of those who are actively involved in the digital forensics process have a limited background in computer science and business information systems. Providing a practitioner's perspective, this book focuses on the concepts of digital forensics. The text addresses the psychological implications encountered by active forensic investigators and considers real-world issues like international considerations. The author, a licensed private investigator, also covers legal and ethical issues as well as challenges to the field.
