  • Abstract:
  • The exponential growth of technology and the internet has introduced new challenges for law enforcement, leading to a significant increase in the use of digital evidence in criminal investigations. Forensic criminology now plays a crucial role in analyzing digital evidence, from cybercrime cases to traditional criminal investigations involving electronic data. This review paper explores how forensic criminologists utilize digital forensics to combat crimes such as hacking, identity theft, and cyberterrorism. It also examines the investigative techniques employed, including the collection, preservation, and analysis of digital evidence. Furthermore, the paper addresses key issues such as the admissibility of digital evidence in court and the challenges of maintaining data integrity during forensic investigations. Through an extensive literature review, this paper highlights how digital forensic tools and methodologies have evolved to keep pace with cybercriminals, and how forensic criminology is adapting to these new forms of evidence. A group discussion highlights perspectives from legal, forensic, and law enforcement communities. The conclusion emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary cooperation and the continuous improvement of forensic techniques to stay ahead of cybercriminals and ensure justice.
