Reviews for Computer Forensics: An Essential Guide for Accountants, Lawyers, and Managers

Two chapters in Sheetz's book - Computer Tools and the Forensic Examination and Computer as Tools for Evil - are immensely enjoyable. The book's most important lesson is that digital evidence is fragile and ripe for inadvertent damage if improperly handled during an examination. (The Federal Lawyer, March/April 2008) In conclusion, Mr. Sheetz's new book is comprehensible, accessible and a valuable contribution to this increasingly important area of our jurisprudence and justice system. (New York Law Journal, May 29, 2007) This book is a well-written, useful resource on the topic of computer forensics, enhancing the reader's understanding of computer crime, how it occurs, and what to do about it. (Legal Information-Alert; 5/2007) Solid advice for those without a strong technical background who want to be aware of the threats lurking out there in cyberworld. (PQ Magazine, November 2007)
