‘Investigating crime’ explains how the police investigate criminal activity, setting out some of the principles and procedures involved and how forensic science provides them with answers. Radical changes in English law and forensic science practices resulted in the introduction of formal quality assurance systems to standardize laboratory practices and the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (1984), which specifies how police deal with accused persons, go about their investigations, and are accountable for their actions. The ‘trace, interview, eliminate’ (TIE) method of systematic elimination of individuals from an investigation is described, as well as the role of digital forensics to extract and interpret data from a wide range of devices.

Digital Forensic

The study and practice of forensic science comprises many distinct areas that range from behavioral to biological to physical and to digital matters, and in each area forensic science is utilized to obtain evidence that will be admissible within the legal framework. This article focuses on inconsistencies within the accepted methodology of digital forensics when comparing the current best practices of mobile digital devices and traditional computer devices. Here the authors raise the awareness of this disconnect in methodology, and they posit that some specific tasks within the traditional best practices of digital forensic science are artifacts of ritual rather than based on scientific requirements.

Tools And Techniques

Digital Forensics is that special branch of forensic science that deals with electronic evidence. Evidence that is electronic in nature could be in several states. When the evidence in contention is a source code with its origin and authorship in question, such evidence comes under the sub-branch of Source Code or Software Forensics. This field has been found to be up and coming as frequent cases pertaining to IPR are being reported in India off late. This paper is a review of this discipline and talks about various tools and techniques that may be employed to process a case in this sub-branch. It discusses the various practical problems that are faced by an investigator in conducting such investigations along with the various shortcomings of the existent techniques. A few relevant and recent case studies along with their various considerations have also been discussed in this work.
