Report examining the weaknesses in the fight against cyber-crime from within
by Aminata Taal
International Journal of Electronic Security and Digital Forensics (IJESDF), Vol. 1, No. 2, 2007

Abstract: This report examines the weaknesses in some of the computer forensic methods used by law enforcement in the fight against computer crime (e-crime) and the work that needs to be done from the perspective of someone who works in the field, observed from within and now looking in from the outside. The computer forensic tools and technology that are heavily relied upon without proper research and evaluation, the lack of procedures in place to assess computer forensic experts in the private sector used by law enforcement agencies, insufficient training and the lack of funding for in-house research and development are all contributory to the problem.
