1. Cybercrime Investigation Methods Prior to beginning work on this
assignment
Cybercrime Investigation MethodsPrior to beginning work on this assignment read the
Sinduh and Meshram (2012) article (Links to an external site.). It is also recommended you
review the Brown (2015) article (Links to an external site.) before writing your assignment.
Review the instructions below and research a minimum of two additional scholarly or
professional sources to support your statements. (Access the MSCJ Professional Sources
guide (Links to an external site.) for assistance with finding appropriate professional
resources.)As you have learned thus far, cyber crimes being committed create a new
vanguard for law enforcement and prosecution of criminal actions. The commonplace
notions of physical crime scenes, standard and material evidence collection, and well-
established, traditional steps of an investigation do not necessarily apply in the “cyber
world.” With a need for change in how cyber crimes are investigated, you will examine
current cyber crime investigations methods in this assignment.For this assignment you will
prepare a three to five page (750 to 1250 words) paper detailing the major components of
cybercrime investigation. Including the following elements in your narrative:Develop your
own, working definition of cyber crime.Explain the methodology of gathering evidence in a
cyber crime investigation.Analyze the methods of evidence collection, analysis and
preservation.Explain the legal challenges for both private security and police agencies
related to cyber crime investigation methods and practices.The Cybercrime Investigation
Methods paperMust be three to five double-spaced pages (750 to 1250 words) in length
(not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined
