Shavers, with a background in the military and law enforcement, offers a comprehensive look at the unique complexities that can be involved in civil and criminal investigation where digital technologies play a significant and often deciding role. The book delves into the many aspects of digital investigations. Techniques of analysis for both 'live' (powered on) and 'dead' (powered off) computers are discussed. Suspect and victim interview techniques unique to digital investigations are presented. --Reference & Research Book News, December 2013 I would highly recommend the book to anyone in the field of digital investigation, computer forensics, or who may just have an interest in the fascinating world of cybercrime investigation.
