Content: As new reports come to light and digital news agencies show cybercrime on the rise, it’s clear that cybercrime investigation plays a critical role in keeping the Internet safe. Traditional law enforcement government agencies are now called upon to investigate not only real-world crimes, but also crimes on the Internet.
