“…Other research works focus on the implementation of the computer forensics curriculum (Huebner et al, 2008;Kessler & Haggerty, 2008;Kessler & Schirling, 2006;Liu, 2006;Wassenaar, Woo, & Wu, 2009). Liu (2006) describes the design of the computer forensics undergraduate program at Metropolitan State University.…”

“…Their curriculum is made up of forensics laws and criminal justice topics and has a solid foundation in computer technologies. Huebner et al (2008) summarize the computer forensic courses developed in Australia, however, a detailed computer forensics curriculum and the topics covered in these programs were not given. Kessler & Haggerty (2008) focus on the online delivery of a computer forensics program in forensics management, while Kessler & Schirling (2006) give a very detailed description of the computer forensics curriculum, which focuses largely on the legal procedures.…”

“…Note that in this paper, only those courses related to computer technology are discussed. The coursework in criminal justice and forensic law are not discussed here as they have been discussed in many other publications (Gottschalk et al, 2005;Huebner et al, 2008;Kessler & Schirling, 2006;Liu, 2006;Rogers, 2004 …”

“…The IEEE and ACM communities provide great recommendations for computer related program design and curriculum development, but very little on addressing the computer forensics program and its curriculum (Liu, 2006). In the past few years, many more universities and colleges started offering courses and even developing programs in computer forensics (Gottschalk, Liu, Dathan, Fitzgerald, & Stein, 2005;Huebner et al, 2008;Kessler & Haggerty, 2008;Kessler & Schirling, 2006;Lang, 1999;Liu, 2006;Troell, Pan, & Stackpole, 2003). Unfortunately, due to the lack of standards, the quality of some these academic courses are suspect (Rogers, 2004).…”

Computer Crime and computer related incidents continue their prevalence and frequency, resulting in losses approaching billions of dollars. To fight against these crimes and frauds, it is urgent to develop digital forensics education programs to train a suitable workforce that can effectively investigate computer crimes and incidents. There is presently no standard to guide the design of digital forensics curriculum for an academic program. In this research, previous work on digital forensics curriculum design and existing education programs are thoroughly investigated. Both digital forensics educators and practitioners were surveyed and results were analyzed to determine the industry and law enforcement need for skills and knowledge for their digital forensic examiners. Based on the survey results and the topics that make up certificate programs in digital forensics, topics that are desired in digital forensics courses are identified. Journal of Digital Forensics, Security and Law, Vol. 7(3) 14 topics are proposed to be offered in both undergraduate and graduate digital forensics programs.

As Kenya matures into an information society, she is exposed to various cyber threats and challenges resulting from the ubiquity of the internet and advancement of technology. Social engineering tricks have been applied to exploit vulnerabilities in people, processes and technologies used in varied environments. On the other hand, computer forensics development plays catch up with the rising challenges within the field especially on the levels of expertise. Social learning brings the element of gaining cultural knowledge, skills, attitudes, strategies, rules and beliefs through observing others. To determine the need for a proactive means of overcoming the ever challenging cybercrime, a Social Learning perspective into the development of standardized procedures in legislation, investigation processes, certification and training of cybercrime investigators is explored, so computer forensics can become a more effective and mature field in curbing cybercrime investigation barriers, especially in predicting and understanding of cybercriminals' behavior.
