Discuss the steps that investigators should consider during the preliminary investigation phase of the computer crime investigation
What will be an ideal response?
• Investigators should remember that computer crimes involve persons who communicate in a language that may be difficult to understand. Because of this, a computer expert should be identified to assist the investigator in the course of the investigation. Another problem encountered in computer crime cases is that often midway through the investigation, the victim will decide to settle for restitution and not pursue the prosecution further. Therefore, investigators should be assured by the victim that they will see the case through to the end and be willing to testify in court. Jurisdiction is another important variable to consider early in the investigation of computer crimes. Often, a suspect computer will have been used in facilitating a crime in another jurisdiction because of complex computer networking. It is necessary, therefore, to determine what federal, state, or local laws might apply to the type of computer crime committed.
