Abstract

This edited volume is a product of the Digital Evidence Research Programme at the British Institute of International and Comparative Law, directed by Stephen Mason, with the assistance of fifteen specialist contributors. It provides a valuable introduction to the issues surrounding electronic evidence, from the work of investigators securing that evidence (particularly in relation to a possible criminal offence) through to the work of counsel challenging its admissibility and probative value. Buying this book will cost you less than the first hour of a forensic computing consultant’s time. It is recommended reading for almost anyone involved in fact investigation or fact finding, as well as in corporate security, internal audit or legal affairs.
