摘要

尽管数字证据如今在刑事调查中发挥着重要作用,而且几乎是每项刑事审判的固有组成部分,但有关数字取证(DF)的研究以及调查人员和法庭人员处理数字证据的国家方法几乎仍然不存在。本研究通过对英格兰和威尔士的 16 名数字取证调查员(DFIs)进行半结构化访谈,对他们的陈述和经验进行定性研究,试图纠正这一问题。我们采用反思性主题分析法对数据进行了分析,并确定了四个首要主题:(i) 应对与调查人员之间的紧张关系(副主题为 "与法律专业人士之间的紧张关系以及应对法庭戏剧的挑战");(ii) DFIs 面临的心理、情感和生存挑战;(iii) 识别自动化和人工智能在 DF 中的潜力和陷阱;以及 (iv) 学术界在 DF 发展中的核心地位(副主题为 "工具验证是数字取证的关键步骤")。这些新发现揭示了数字取证机构在履行职责时遇到的巨大需求,以及在兼顾多种角色的同时持续承受的过重负担。这项研究为更广泛的讨论提供了一个关键的起点。

“What you say in the lab, stays in the lab”: A reflexive thematic analysis of current challenges and future directions of digital forensic investigations in the UK
Despite digital evidence nowadays playing a major role in criminal investigations and being intrinsic to almost every criminal trial, research in digital forensics (DF) and national approaches to digital evidence in relation to investigating officers and court personnel remain almost non-existent. This research seeks to remedy this issue by qualitatively examining the accounts and experiences of 16 digital forensic investigators (DFIs) in England and Wales who took part in semi-structured interviews. We analyzed the data using a reflexive thematic analysis and identified four overarching themes: (i) Navigating tensions with investigating officers (that has a subtheme of ‘Tensions with legal professionals and challenges navigating court theatrics’) (ii) The psychological, emotional, and existential challenges confronted by DFIs; (iii) Identifying the potential and pitfalls of automation and AI in DF and (iv) The centrality of academia in the advancement of DF (that has a subtheme of ‘Validation of tools as a crucial step in digital forensics’). These new findings reveal that DFIs encounter significant demands to perform well and are continuously overburdened while juggling many roles. This research serves as a pivotal starting point for broader discussions.
