Personal Narrative: A Career As A Computer Forensic Technicians

A government is only instituted to ensure the rights of citizens. The Declaration of Rights of the Inhabitants of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts reserves the state’s right to certain powers that were not said in the United States Constitution. One of these powers is the ability to govern themselves as a free state (Document #7). One of the main reasons colonists were hesitant for a federal government was the strength and privileges the government would have. Colonists did not want the federal government always overriding the state government because it would infringe their rights. When the colonists give themselves the right to powers not stated in the Constitution, they are expanding their power. This also stops the federal government

The interest in forensic science has grown so much that the employment will be strong. In 2006, 12,310 forensic scientists were employed in the United States (Echaore-McDavid and McDavid 29). From 2012 to 2022, experts have projected that there will be 5,800 jobs available (Summary Report). However, a lot of forensic scientists have been employed by private labs, so there is a backload of work. This means that employers are looking for skilled and experienced criminalists (Echaore-McDavid and McDavid 29). Public laboratories are looking for finances to add additional jobs, but because of the lack of funds, they don’t have enough forensic scientists (Echaore-McDavid and McDavid 29). Finding a job as a forensic scientist should be easy, because a lot of laboritories are looking to hire experienced criminalists.

I have been a prototype technician for almost nine years at my company. I work at a prototype facility that builds seatbelt and airbag parts for automotive companies. I had the opportunity to learn and be a part of the prototype build request while a select group of supervisors was developing this new system. The new build request asks the engineer for more specific instructions than the old system. However, each engineer was never really trained so they are filling out the work orders differently. The mangers implemented a new build request system about two years ago. In the beginning, I was asked to be on a project that helped design this new build system. The team was made up of inventory clerks, an engineer from seatbelts and airbags, a

As far back as I can remember I have had a happy childhood. I didn’t grow up depending on technology to teach me the alphabet or learning to draw pictures on an iPad. Instead I played outside for hours in my tree house inventing new ways to climb the tree in my backyard, and learning to color inside the lines of my coloring book that I bought with the quarters I earned with my lemonade stand at the end of my drive way. Families that make up our society and individuals are affected by different aspects of technology everyday. The digital age that we have rapidly approached since the 2000’s has effected minds of young children teaching them to play a digital game in a computer

The scarlet letter begins in seventeen-century in Boston. A young woman name Hester Prynne is walked through the town prison with her daughter Pearl in her arms with the scarlet letter”A” on her breast. A man in the prison tells an elderly onlooker that Hester is being punished for adultery. Hester's husband a man that is much older than she is, sent her ahead of him to America , but he never arrived in Boston. The truth is that he has been lost at sea. While she was waiting for her husband, she had an affair when she gave birth to a child. Hester refuses to reveal her lover's identity and she is being punished for her sin and secrecy. She is led to the town scaffold and harangued by the town fathers, but she still refuses to tell who the father of her daughter is.

This thesis aims to determine what attorneys consider to be the three most important characteristics of an expert witness from law enforcement digital forensics personnel. The analysis of digital evidence and court testimony of a digital investigator will be heard by a jury and thus will have a part in that jury’s determination of the guilt or innocence of the person who is accused of a crime. Offenses ranging from misdemeanors to capital crimes such as murder could possibly be involved, with sentences ranging from probation to the death penalty in Alabama. The testimony of the person who collects, examines, and reports on the evidence in a case can literally make the difference between life and death for the defendant. The qualifications of the witness giving testimony about digital forensic evidence are of supreme importance.

In a world where technology is increasingly becoming the way of life, it was only a matter of time before crime was no longer just in the streets but happening online as well. Criminals now get a new approach to carry out their crimes with the use of computers. Since technology is more like a murder mystery than catching the bad guy in the act, a new discipline of forensics needed to be put into place. This is known as computer forensics. Forensic science is any science used for the purpose of law. In the case of computer forensics it is “the discipline that combines elements of law and computer science to collect and analyze data from computer systems, networks, wireless communications, and storage devices in a way that is admissible as evidence in a court of law” (U.S. Cert, 2008). Meaning if you do something illegal on the Internet it can be found.

Following my examination of the bullet holes, I went to the station where I would place the tip of all ten of my fingers on the wet, black ink pad and roll each finger from one side to another in the designated square on the paper. I watched as the woman wrote my name on the top of the paper that now had my fingerprints. Little did I know this would become my future.

Not too long ago I had the cemented desire to become a Forensic Pathologist, all that changed when I decided to do volunteer work at my stepfather’s funeral home. My hubris, mentally prepared self was nowhere close to being prepared for what I was about to experience. What started as a lovely day for the “future forensic pathologist,” took an unforeseen turn.

When carrying out computer investigations, first responders must follow proper legal procedures to ensure that the digital evidence is admissible in court. As such, computer investigations follow an 8-step methodology, which helps the investigator to track and realize proper evidence presentation for cases into court. Investigators are supposed to start the process with a reasonable knowledge of forensic tools, techniques, procedures, guidelines, and

My experience have prepared me well for this technician job. I have spent one year working as an IT Technician, installing and maintaining the computer network systems in the office, setting up printers, copy machines, scanning machines and answering customer calls, identifying their problems and finding the solutions.

The death penalty is a very controversial subject for everyone, especially in the US. Some people think that it should be abolished and others think that it should stay a part of the government’s form of punishment. People think that the death penalty is a good way to deter crime because it should scare the person who is committing the crime. Some also feel that keeping the death penalty will cut down on government costs. The opposing side believes that the crimes would happen with or without the death penalty around. The different methods bring up many other issues as in are they humane or are they inhumane. Another argument they bring up is what is killing someone for killing someone teaching?

Forensic science is the application of science to the criminal justice system. Forensic science technicians use evidence submitted to them to assist in legal proceedings and accurately determine any results. There are many specific areas that many people specialize in, such as everything from analyzing the evidence to testifying in court as an expert witness. Since before I could remember, I have always had an interest in a sort of criminal justice area and thought it would be really fun and exciting to have as a job. I often read Marjorie Weinman Sharmat’s “Nate the Great” books, which were about a child version of Sherlock Holmes solving local mysteries. But even so, like every other girl I knew, I thought I would end up having a career

Following this, computer forensic investigators are becoming a necessity for lawyers and barristers as support in both criminal and civil proceedings.

Is the internet benefiting our teens and children or is it harming them? If it is benefiting them; in which particular ways. If it isn’t benefiting them, what is hurting teens? The internet can benefit or ruin you if you get addicted; it depends on the person and his uses. The internet has come to the point where it can make many things that you couldn’t have done before become possible, and make life easier. The Internet can make you fall into temptation as well, with all of its amazing features. The Internet can cause depression and the feeling of being left out of the real world, if you can’t get online. The Media and the Internet can really help a child in his academic skills and social skills outside of school as well if used correctly. In todays time our children are being addictive to the new technology and are surfing webs spending a lot of useful time using other peoples creation of technology, they are not being creative and it isn’t benefiting them at all. Should parents limit the internet or not; choices like these will impact a teen’s life and should be researched before a decision is made. The Internet can benefit our youth and our future in a magnificent measure, but there should be a limit so it can affect our youth in a healthy way and not in a negative way.
