Criminal Justice Digital Forensics Capstone Paper:
This assignment is to write a scholarly capstone paper that is to be based on a digital forensic discipline or new digital forensic field that is using fairly new technology to investigate crime.
The paper is to be in APA format and the body of the paper is to be 8-12 pages in length. The body of the paper does not include the title page or references. A minimum of twelve scholarly peer reviewed sources should be
used. Be aware that this is the minimum and a typical research paper should extend beyond the minimum.
Reference lists from texts and articles related to topic are good sources for references. Use of newspapers, news magazines, and similar periodicals must be kept to a minimum, and will be acceptable only as sources for
supplementary information. References like “Wikipedia,” “Psychology Today,” and “Court TV” are not primary sources, are not peer reviewed (reviewed for empirical integrity, accuracy, and authenticity), and are not appropriate
references for scholarly writing (with the possible exception of use for anecdotal background information).
This paper will demonstrate the student’s ability to research and reason,
incorporating the cognitive skills of analysis, synthesis, evaluation, defense of
logic, and conclusions.
