Factor Analytic Approach to Digital Forensics Acceptability in Nigeria

Akinyokun Oluyomi Kolawole

Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology  ·  Area of research: Digital Forensics

Abstract

Contemporary method of investigations are overtime observed to be inefficient, time wasting and pruned to various errors. However, digital forensics and its investigative processes has become an integral phase of criminal jurisprudence. This research therefore carries out a baseline study of Digital Forensics, its awareness and acceptability in Nigeria. It makes use of principal component analysis (PCA) approach based responses from the questionnaires administered. Drawing upon the statistical representation of the respondents, the paper identifies key contributory indices to effective digital forensic (DF) investigative process in Nigeria which include DF Personnel Training, DF Personnel Training among others.
