Abstract

Since the 1990s, when the first computers were introduced as workplace tools and the technological expansion began, computers, information technologies, and the internet have become an indispensable part of our daily lives. Computers are now an essential tool in all aspects of life, including business, telecommunications, and personal use. Given the increased use of information technologies in our businesses and daily lives, it is not surprising that computer-related crimes are on the rise. The widespread use of computers in our society has resulted in a rapid rise in issues and problems associated with crime, particularly cybercrime. As cybercrime committed via the internet and computer networks becomes more prevalent, courts require technical personnel who are experts in this field. The proper legal framework and division of investigative responsibility are not always clear. Law enforcement faces new challenges as it works to improve its capacity to investigate and prosecute cybercrime. This paper discusses crime scene management for cybercrime criminal offenses. So, we aim to research and present in the most meaningful way what the crime scene is, how site inspection is carried out, how the crime scene is preserved and secured, and what the crime scene documentation is, knowing that traces and material evidence in cybercrime cases occupy a special place in the investigative process.
