The use and reliance on increasingly sophisticated technology makes individuals, society and commerce more vulnerable to crime and provides not only more opportunity but also greater mobility and anonymity to criminals. The new world of e-forensics and e-evidence also presents
significant new issues and challenges for the criminal justice system.
