As society becomes more dependent on digital technology, cyber-crime continues to be an increasing threat. There is a growing need to counter cyber-crime through digital forensics investigations. With rapid developments in technology such as cloud computing, the Internet of Things, and mobile computing, it is vital to ensure the proper training of law enforcement personnel and judges in the theory and practice of digital forensics. This project from the University of Alabama at Birmingham aims to develop curricula, educational materials, and courses for training law enforcement and judicial personnel in digital forensics. The courses will serve the following purposes: (1) educate legal professionals on the basics of computer security and forensics terminology, (2) generate knowledge and understanding of technology that can lead to more effective judicial decisions and (3) reduce mistakes associated digital forensics investigations. Educating law enforcement and judicial personnel will improve the understanding and handling of digital forensic evidence in legal cases and investigations. This will lead to significant improvements in investigating and prosecuting cyber-crime, helping build a safer society.The project will create and evaluate a unique set of educational modules and courses in digital forensics that are optimized for training legal professionals, including judges, prosecutors, and attorneys. The project will design a series of modules/courses on digital forensics and evaluate their effectiveness in educating the actual target demographics. This will be done in partnership with legal entities as well as practitioners and educational experts and instructional designers. Training materials will be designed to be scalable to nationwide law enforcement and judicial professionals, as well as easily adaptable so that it may keep pace with rapidly changing attacks and forensic techniques. The project will also involve undergraduate researchers and students, as well as women and minorities. Additionally, it will also involve students from a newly established BS degree program in Digital Forensics and the NSF SFS program in Computer Forensics at UAB. Course materials developed for this project will be made available to law enforcement and judicial professionals from all over the nation, helping address the nationwide shortage of legal professionals who are skilled in digital forensics.

随着社会越来越依赖数字技术，网络犯罪仍然是一个日益严重的威胁。越来越需要通过数字取证调查来打击网络犯罪。随着云计算、物联网和移动的计算等技术的快速发展，确保对执法人员和法官进行数字取证理论和实践方面的适当培训至关重要。该项目来自伯明翰的亚拉巴马大学，旨在开发课程、教材和课程，用于培训执法和司法人员进行数字取证。这些课程将服务于以下目的：（1）教育法律的专业人员掌握计算机安全和取证术语的基础知识，（2）产生对技术的知识和理解，从而可以导致更有效的司法决策，（3）减少与数字取证调查相关的错误。对执法和司法人员进行教育将提高对法律的案件和调查中数字法医证据的理解和处理。该项目将创建和评估一套独特的数字取证教育模块和课程，这些模块和课程经过优化，可用于培训法律的专业人员，包括法官、检察官和律师。该项目将设计一系列关于数字取证的模块/课程，并评估其在教育实际目标人口方面的有效性。这项工作将与法律的实体以及从业人员、教育专家和教学设计人员合作进行。培训材料的设计将使其可扩展到全国范围的执法和司法专业人员，并易于调整，以便跟上快速变化的攻击和法医技术。该项目还将涉及本科研究人员和学生以及妇女和少数族裔。此外，它还将涉及来自新成立的数字取证学士学位课程和NSF SFS计算机取证课程的学生。为该项目开发的课程材料将提供给来自全国各地的执法和司法专业人员，帮助解决全国范围内缺乏精通数字取证的法律的专业人员的问题。
