The Role Of Cybercrime Scene Investigation In Enhancing Digital Evidence And Its Admissibility

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of cybercrime scene investigation in enhancing digital evidence. The descriptive and analytical approach was used by describing the problems related to digital evidence's privacy and the obstacles it creates in extracting digital evidence from the electronic crime scene. The findings reflected that the authority in digital evidence is not solely related to its content as evidence, but rather to independent factors related to its credibility. The credibility of digital evidence is of utmost importance and depends on the proper functioning of the electronic crime scene. The most important recommendations imply enabling judges and prosecution members to pursue and prosecute offenders of information technology crimes.
