Trying to solve a mystery? Wondering what others in the household may have been up to on the computer?\nThere are programs that track what people are looking at on their computers and you can see what others in the family have been doing on the computer.\nGo to www.cnet.com and look at downloads. There may be one there. Used very commonly in companies where employees work on computers, to see if they are goofing off.

The art of finding evidence in computers. It is used to reconstruct files, emails, internet history, etc.  The government and the police use it to catch drug dealers, kiddie porn rings, tax evaders, etc.  Companies use it to determine if employees are violating company computer usage guidelines, engaging in corporate espionage, etc.

Forensic science (often shortened to forensics) is the application of a broad spectrum of sciences to answer questions of interest to the legal system. This may be in relation to a crime or to a civil action. The use of the term "forensics" in place of "forensic science" could be considered incorrect; the term "forensic" is effectively a synonym for "legal" or "related to courts" (from Latin, it means "before the forum").

Computer, machine that performs tasks, such as calculations or electronic communication, under the control of a set of instructions called a program. Programs usually reside within the computer and are retrieved and processed by the computer’s electronics. The program results are stored or routed to output devices, such as video display monitors or printers. Computers perform a wide variety of activities reliably, accurately, and quickly.\n\nPeople use computers in many ways. In business, computers track inventories with bar codes and scanners, check the credit status of customers, and transfer funds electronically. In homes, tiny computers embedded in the electronic circuitry of most appliances control the indoor temperature, operate home security systems, tell the time, and turn videocassette recorders (VCRs) on and off. Computers in automobiles regulate the flow of fuel, thereby increasing gas mileage, and are used in anti-theft systems. Computers also entertain, creating digitized sound on stereo systems or computer-animated features from a digitally encoded laser disc. Computer programs, or applications, exist to aid every level of education, from programs that teach simple addition or sentence construction to programs that teach advanced calculus. Educators use computers to track grades and communicate with students; with computer-controlled projection units, they can add graphics, sound, and animation to their communications (see Computer-Aided Instruction). Computers are used extensively in scientific research to solve mathematical problems, investigate complicated data, or model systems that are too costly or impractical to build, such as testing the air flow around the next generation of aircraft. The military employs computers in sophisticated communications to encode and unscramble messages, and to keep track of personnel and supplies.\n\nThe physical computer and its components are known as hardware. Computer hardware includes the memory that stores data and program instructions; the central processing unit (CPU) that carries out program instructions; the input devices, such as a keyboard or mouse, that allow the user to communicate with the computer; the output devices, such as printers and video display monitors, that enable the computer to present information to the user; and buses (hardware lines or wires) that connect these and other computer components. The programs that run the computer are called software. Software generally is designed to perform a particular type of task—for example, to control the arm of a robot to weld a car’s body, to write a letter, to display and modify a photograph, or to direct the general operation of the computer.\n\nWhen a computer is turned on it searches for instructions in its memory. These instructions tell the computer how to start up. Usually, one of the first sets of these instructions is a special program called the operating system, which is the software that makes the computer work. It prompts the user (or other machines) for input and commands, reports the results of these commands and other operations, stores and manages data, and controls the sequence of the software and hardware actions. When the user requests that a program run, the operating system loads the program in the computer’s memory and runs the program. Popular operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows and the Macintosh system (Mac OS), have graphical user interfaces (GUIs)—that use tiny pictures, or icons, to represent various files and commands. To access these files or commands, the user clicks the mouse on the icon or presses a combination of keys on the keyboard. Some operating systems allow the user to carry out these tasks via voice, touch, or other input methods.\n\nTo process information electronically, data are stored in a computer in the form of binary digits, or bits, each having two possible representations (0 or 1). If a second bit is added to a single bit of information, the

Here is a little info. See the sources I've listed below. They will tell you alot more. \n\nThe Forensic Investigation Unit provides expertise at crime scenes through the use of photography, identification, evidence collection, processing and preservation. Technicians also perform latent fingerprint comparisons, forensic artistry and provide expert court testimony.\n\nThere are four types of technicians in the unit: Crime Scene Technician, Latent Fingerprint Specialist, Photo Lab Technician, and Office Support Specialist. In addition to skills required by their specialization, each technician must have a exceptional understanding of law enforcement techniques and needs to perform their assigned tasks in a way that assists future courtroom proceedings.\n\nCrime Scene Technician:\nHighly trained and capable Crime Scene Technicians provide mobile crime lab services at major crime scenes by scene photography, processing for latent fingerprints and collecting, identifying, classifying and preserving evidence. Crime Scene Technicians perform presumptive blood tests, gunpowder residue tests, and plaster cast impression molds. They process bodies of the deceased for trace evidence and fingerprints when necessary. They also fingerprint living and deceased subjects for identification. Technicians must be ready to testify in court to their findings and methods in criminal and civil cases.\n\nLatent Fingerprint Specialist\nFingerprint Specialists examine and evaluate the latent prints developed and lifted at crime scenes. They search for ridge detail and clarity to determine whether the print is sufficient for comparison. Comparisons are made between the print from the scene and prints of known individuals at the request of detectives and officers with the department for identification of the perpetrators of crimes.\n\nA vital role of the specialist is to enter and compare prints in the Automated Fingerprint Identification System or AFIS. This computer capability allows more comparisons in shorter time periods but it is ultimately the specialist who make the identification. Specialists must also be prepared to testify to their identifications in court.\n\nPhoto Lab Technician\nThe Tampa Police photo lab is responsible for processing and printing all Fire and Police Department crime scenes along with public relations photography. These technicians are very proficient in photography and photographic development techniques, both of which are crucial in the assignment they occupy. These technicians are responsible for a wide variety of complex and expensive equipment and maintain photographic negatives for future examination.\n\nOffice Support Specialists\nA sometimes neglected aspect of any organization or function is the record keeping and data management. Our Office Support Specialists play an essential in successfully achieving ID's goals. These technicians work to quantify data about arrests made, maintain city personnel files and criminal files, and staff the service desk for photo requests. These tasks are but a few of the functions of their highly demanding job roles
