It seems that the computer is at the forefront of almost everything nowadays. Even though they have been around for the last couple decades, personal computers still continue to be the most innovative, interesting thing out there. The Internet makes all kinds of things possible that our parents couldn't have even dreamed of when they were kids. There is light speed communication, streaming audio and video all over the world, and access to vast resources of data from the comfort of our own homes.
Nonetheless, there is a dark side to all of this innovation. Computer crimes continue to climb each and every year. Crimes like cyber hacking and the possession and trading of indecent materials, not to mention rampant copyright infringement, continue to make the headlines day after day.
The flip side of all of this is that computer crime investigation can be a lucrative career. Computer criminals are everywhere nowadays. There are hacker gangs working all over Europe, Asia, and the United States to steal personal information and use it for spamming campaigns or credit card fraud. They are smut peddlers sharing illegal and disturbing images with a secret list of high-paying clientèle. There are even people trying to hack into our communication systems to threaten our national security. Computer criminal investigation is the cutting edge, and it is one of the most fascinating fields out there.

The archetype of all humans, their ideal image, is the computer, once it has liberated itself from its creator, man. The computer is the essence of the human being. In the computer, man reaches his completion.
| —Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990) |
