<br>
The Latest in Digital Forensics and e-Crime
<br>

<br>
Digital Forensics and e-Crime is a rapidly developing and cutting edge 
discipline of ICT, contributing more and more significantly to crime 
investigations in New Zealand and globally every year.
<br>

<br>
The NZ Police e-Crime Group is responsible for managing the digital 
forensics for the NZ Police via three e-Crime Labs throughout the 
country.
<br>

<br>
In this presentation Maarten Kleintjes, head of the NZ Police National 
Electronic Crime Group, will give an update on the latest local and 
international work in digital forensics and e-Crime including recent 
examples of high profile cases where digital forensics played a key part
 in cracking the case.
<br>

<br>
As the devices on which people process and store information have become
 more sophisticated, more widespread and more interconnected, the role 
of the E-Crime Lab has grown considerably. These days there are very few
 crimes committed that don�t have an electronic component to evidence 
and the number of exhibits have increased from around 40 a year in 1985 
to over 16,000 in recent years. This ranges from people using their 
computer to research how to commit a crime (or ironically how to get 
away with it!), or emails or text messages which often unknowingly give 
the game away, through to more complicated analysis.
<br>

<br>
Maarten will also outline EVE, the Environment for Virtualised Evidence,
 the world-leading system created by the NZ e-Crime Group and launched 
last year to revolutionalise the efficient and timely collection, 
indexing and analysis of electronic evidence. This system dramatically 
changed the turnaround of a Detective submitting a computer for analysis
 and access to files and information from many months or years to 
several days.
<br>

<br>
The NZ Police e-Crime Group is leading the world in the area of digital 
forensics, and this presentation will provide significant insight into 
this fascinating area.
