数字取证有助于发掘数字设备提供的证据机会。在英格兰和威尔士，90%的案件都带有数字元素，识别最具证据价值的设备对于有效地处理数字法医（DF）分析的需求至关重要。本文从民族志的角度对英格兰和威尔士的35支警察部队如何组织内部体检要求进行了实证分析，以及管理相关内部需求的机制、背景和挑战，这些在警务和体检从业者文献中都很少进行系统研究。分析说明了如何更新对风险和优先级的理解，以满足对DF分析日益增长的需求。调查结果要求采用更新的系统方法，鼓励协作预测内部警务需求，并在调查的业务方面和技术方面之间架起桥梁。
Digital forensic helps to unlock the evidential opportunities presented by digital devices. Ninety per cent of all cases in England and Wales carry a digital element and identifying the devices with the most evidential value is central to dealing effectively and efficiently with the demand for digital forensic (DF) analysis. This article offers an ethnographically informed, empirical analysis of how police requests for in-house DF examinations are organized in 35 forces in England and Wales, and the mechanisms, contexts, and challenges of managing-related internal demand, which have been rarely examined systematically in both policing and DF practitioner literature. The analysis illustrates how an updated understanding of risk and prioritization is needed to address the growing demand for DF analysis. The findings call for updated, systematic approaches that encourage the forecasting of internal policing demand collaboratively and bridge between the operational and the technical sides of investigations.
