[Air-l] internet and law enforcement

[Dr. W. Reid Cornwell]

My interest is directed towards how the internet has hindered or helped
investigative processes. Anecdotal information and informed opinions would
be helpful. We are trying to identify cross-disciplinary methods that would
suggest empirically derived praxis.

Thanks for your reply,

Reid

Are you referring to the LEO activities or cases in general?  I'm sure there
is a ton of legal work on the latter --eg "criminal procedure" and other
court records/legal opinions that can be found in legal search queries.

Regarding more operational/investigative activities involving the Internet,
I will have to dig through my library to find some of them.  I've
encountered many (and written some) opinion pieces from "folks who know
well" the matter at hand, but not much in the way of formal academic work
comes to mind quickly tonight.

Still, for both areas, a good place to start might be the Berkman Center for
Internet & Society at Harvard Law School or the Stanford Center for Internet
and Society.   Additionally, nonprofit groups like the EFF and CPSR have
troves of information pertaining to law enforcement activities involving
Internet crimes.

I'm sure there are more, but it's late here, and that' just what I could
come up with before signing off for the night.  If/as I come up with more
sources, I'll compile them and send along.

Cheers,
