The Use of Special Knowledge in the Investigation of Computer Crimes

Abstract

The authors come to the conclusion that it is necessary to involve specia­lists in computer equipment in the process of investigation because the investigation and detection of computer crimes requires the analysis of computer information and its carriers. The characteristic features of examined objects determine, first of all, special rules for obtaining and registering them, as well as taking into consideration research methodology when ordering and conducting computer forensic examinations. Confiscation, examination, recording of computer information of evidential significance requires specialist knowledge. In this connection, it is necessary to involve specialists and (or) experts in the process of investigation, detection and prevention of computer crimes. The latent character of computer crimes, a wide use of remote assess, the absence of visual perception of virtual objects and other factors hinder the collection of computer information. Thus, ordering and conducting different types of computer forensic examination play a special role in the investigation, detection and prevention of crimes. A modern and high-quality examination conducted by specialists with expert knowledge in the sphere of hi tech during the investigation of computer technology-related criminal cases offers considerable support to the law enforcement bodies in combating not only these crimes, but also a whole range of crimes where information technology acts as a partial platform for criminal activities. When law enforcement bodies thus influence one of the components of regional and international criminal activities, they raise the level of both physical and information security of citizens. The authors also stress that the more actively information technologies enter the life of a society, the more vulnerable this society is to the criminals who use these technologies for their own purposes.

On the Prospects of Using the Handwriting Analysis of a Structured Text in Law Enforcement Work

“…В качестве примера можно привести рост качественных и количественных показателей использования различных современных технических средств сотрудниками правоохранительных органов, а также развитие исследований технических средств, ставших орудиями совершения преступлений, либо в той или иной форме запечатлевших информацию об этом событии. В научной среде процессуалистов и криминалистов одними из наиболее актуальных тем, по которым проводятся конференции и публикуются исследования стали вопросы развития информационных технологий в уголовном судопроизводстве [2][3][4] и, так называемая, «цифровая криминалистика», связанные с ней понятия информационных или виртуальных следов и других особенностей расследования преступлений, совершенных с использованием информационных технологий [5][6][7][8][9][10][11].…”
