Although there are currently a number of well-written and timely books on the subject of computer forensics, none successfully speak to the non-technical professional. Computer Crime will fill this void by giving attorneys, accountants and other professionals a solid foundation in the basic concepts that underpin the science. While avoiding the nuts and bolts of the forensic examination process, the book will nonetheless prepare professionals to identify, manage and successfully exploit the computer forensic process.
A comprehensive look at the field of computer forensics and crime. First book to successfully speak to the non-technical professional on the topic of computer crime and how to use the computer as an investigative tool against fraud. Provide readers with a solid understanding of how computers facilitate fraud and financial crime, and how they can be used to investigate, prosecute, and prevent fraud and financial crime.
