Legal and Evidential issues of Computer Crime
Professor Neil Barrett
, visiting fellow, University of Glamorgan and author of "Traces of Guilt"
Tuesday 16th November
2pm - 3pm
Taliesin Theatre, University of Wales Swansea
This IT Wales/Department of Computer Science Public Lecture is sponsored by 
Criminals use computers, just like everyone else - apart from, it seems, members of the jury, to whom the computer is simply a television with a typewriter attached. Which is a problem....... a big problem.
Few people understand the way in which computers work; few people understand the way in which hackers hack, viruses infect, fraudsters defraud; and few people understand the laws, the rules of
evidence and the way in which computers act as witnesses to crime.
In this presentation, one of the few professional computer expert witnesses will explain the legal, practical and technical issues of turning a mountain of computer data into a collection of courtroom
exhibits, and the challenge of then using them to ensure that criminals can be convicted in our courts.
A copy of Neil Barrett's powerpoint presentation is available in the Members Section
