The American Academy of Forensic Sciences Digital and Multimedia Sciences section: the forensic examination of computers, mobile devices, networks and stored data, and of digital audio, video and image evidence. Belongs here: any discipline whose evidence is electronic data or digital media rather than a physical crime scene trace. Does not belong here: disciplines that examine physical marks or materials, grouped under Criminalistics, or written and printed documents, grouped under Questioned Documents. This subcategory currently holds one live entity, Digital Forensics; a future mint wave is expected to grow it as the discipline is broken into its own specialties such as mobile forensics and network forensics.
