Improvised Cyber Crime Investigation Model

Crime is a major social and legal problem in the world we live in. Crime changes with time and circumstances. Criminals use new technologies to facilitate and maximize criminal activities. With increased use of Computers and Internet, there has been an explosion of new crime called the Cybercrime which is also known as 'Internet crimes' or 'e-crime'. Cybercrime is the most complicated problem and it has become the major concern for the global community. It is hard to detect. The nature of cybercrime shows that investigations are often technically complex, requiring access to specialist skill. For detection of cybercrime many investigation techniques and methods are there in the system. Also many investigation models have been proposed. Till date the investigation models proposed by various researchers have some or the other shortfalls. An improvised cybercrime investigation model with detail phases has been proposed in this paper.
