CCJS 321 (3 Credits): Digital Forensics in Criminal Justice

The upper-level CMIT courses provide students with advanced knowledge and skills in the rapidly evolving fields of information technology and digital systems, preparing them for careers in cybersecurity, network administration, and systems management. Among these, the course on Digital Forensics in the Criminal Justice System (CCJS 321) explores the intersection of technology and law enforcement, focusing on the collection, preservation, analysis, and presentation of digital evidence in criminal investigations. This 3-credit course offers in-depth insights into the role of digital forensics in solving cybercrimes, as well as the legal and ethical considerations involved in handling digital evidence. Students will learn about the tools and techniques used by forensic experts to investigate crimes involving computers, networks, and mobile devices, equipping them with the practical skills necessary for working in both criminal justice and information security domains.

These specialized courses provide a comprehensive education in the field of digital forensics, focusing on various aspects of criminal investigations involving digital evidence. Digital Forensics in the Criminal Justice System (CCJS 321) offers a foundational understanding of how digital forensics plays a crucial role in the criminal justice process, teaching students the techniques and ethical considerations for collecting and analyzing digital evidence in legal contexts. Digital Forensics Analysis and Application (CMIT 424) builds on this foundation by diving deeper into the practical applications of forensic tools and methodologies, enabling students to perform detailed forensic analysis of computer systems and data storage devices. Mobile Forensics (CMIT 440) focuses specifically on the challenges and techniques involved in retrieving and analyzing data from mobile devices, a crucial area in modern criminal investigations due to the widespread use of smartphones and tablets. Network Forensics (CMIT 460) extends the scope further, emphasizing the investigation of network traffic and protocols to uncover criminal activities such as hacking, data breaches, and cyberattacks. Together, these courses provide a well-rounded education in digital forensics, preparing students to tackle complex cybercrimes and support law enforcement in the digital age.
