CRJ178: DMACC ECrimes Investigative Methods, Fully Online Course
Major Project 1
Find a specific case of a crime where the computer was Instrumental in the commission, not just a case with a computer in it. Not a type of crime but an actual crime that was committed. IE Do not do a presentation on computer hacking but one on a specific hacker case.
The case MUST be one that has been adjudicated. This means that the police have arrested someone and that they have been processed through the court system and there is some verdict or plea reached. If the case has not been solved, then pick a different case.
The case must have been committed in the past 5 years (2014 or newer), it cannot be discussed in the textbook.
Below are the details of the final presentation due March 4.
The presentation should be AT LEAST 25 content slides in length – not including title, pictures, biblio, etc. Presentations that do not meet the length requirement may not be graded at all.
Presentation must include:
1. Describe the details of the crime that was committed Describe how the computer was Instrumental
2. What were the technical issues associated with the crime? Do not just say "the computer was hacked", provide details on what happened
3. Describe who committed it
4. What efforts were made in the investigation? How did the police learn about the crime, learn about the criminal, how did they catch the person(s)?
5. What was the legal outcome of the case? (convicted, plea deal, etc)
6. Bibliography slide: Must include at least 5 references
7. Must have at least 25 slides not counting the title and bibliography. ( If the presentation is shorter, it will not be graded)
8. Record the screen and audio of you giving the presentation with what ever screen capture tool you choose. I want to see the slides and hear you discussing them.

10. Submit the slide presentation (ppt or equivalents)
