Abstract

This study examines the current level of digital crime experience and investigative capabilities of law enforcement in Michigan. Information was obtained through interviews with members of Michigan Sheriff Departments. Following the collection and analysis of data, the results were extrapolated to the national level in order to provide a picture of what is facing law enforcement at the national level. The extrapolation was supported by FBI crime reports and other information sources. The results of the study argue that law enforcement is in a dire situation when it comes to dealing with digital crime. The pace of technical change and digital/cyber crime trends when juxtaposed with law enforcement’s ability to deal investigate and prosecute these crimes provides for a bleak prognosis for the law enforcement and legal system.
