Techno-Crimes and the Evolution of Investigations

Technology is growing exponentially, and techno-crimes are evolving faster than legal systems, law enforcement, and investigators.

Criminals use technologies such as darknets, cryptocurrencies, the Internet of Things, "Cosmos" computing, deepfakes, and data poisoning to commit crimes and hide evidence of their activity.

Developing technologies including autonomous vehicles, bio-hacking, decentralized networks, brainwave hacking, and augmented or virtual reality will create new types of crime that have never before existed.

This book explains why technology will force investigations to transform into a completely different profession than exists today and why legal systems, law enforcement, security, and audit will also need to evolve to have a chance to be effective in this environment.

Mr. Manning discusses the different types of techno-crimes and the challenges that they present for investigators searching for evidence. He then recommends how investigators can plan the necessary evolution to ensure that they can be effective and successful in this era of exponential change.

Between chapters, Mr. Manning presents fictional case studies where the technologies he discusses in each chapter are involved in different criminal scenarios. These stories begin with the question, "You're in chargewhat will you do?" asking investigators to imagine how they might investigate these techno-crimes.

Many law enforcement and investigative professionals are not ready to investigate crimes involving technology. There are insufficient technology investigators to handle the volume of technology investigations today.

How can we solve the challenges for these investigations we face today, and what will we do tomorrow as technology continues to change even faster?

The techno-criminals have evolved.

Most investigators haven't.

Its' time to catch up!
