Overview

The physical laws that govern how accidents happen are unchanging. However, the amount of information available in any given incident is rising at a phenomenal rate. The challenges facing forensic investigators and their clients in the future will centre as much on the physical and regulatory difficulties of obtaining information as it will on the technical expertise needed to provide interpretation.
In this presentation, Dr Moncrieff will with examples explore a selection of areas in which the business of data collection and analysis has changed or is due to change dramatically in the coming years.

At the end of the event the delegate will be able to identify

• Various forensic disciplines;
• The increasing connectivity of our world;
• Isssues with regard to data, who it belongs to and what we are allowed to do with it;
• Case studies to show the application of services.
