Cribari Co-Authors Book on Digital Evidence

Prof. Steve Cribari is a co-author of “Digital Evidence in the Courtroom: A Guide for Law Enforcement and Prosecutors,” published by DOJ’s National Institute of Justice. The book is the fourth in a series of guides, sponsored by the National Institute of Justice, dealing with digital evidence. (Other guides consider responding to the electronic crime scene, examination of digital evidence, and internet investigations.) The guide is the product of the Technical Working Group for Digital Evidence in the Courtroom, of which Prof. Cribari is a member. It discusses, from an evidentiary standpoint, fourth amendment issues, relevant evidentiary concerns, discovery, disclosure, and presentation of digital evidence. The guide is intended to be both an introduction to, and resource for, law enforcement and prosecutors. The work is available online at NIJ’s site(www.usdoj.gov/nij) and at the National Criminal Justice Reference Service (www.ncjrs.gov). It is also available in print.
