About the Guest

Art Bowker began his career in criminal justice as a probation officer for the Cuyahoga County Adult Probation Department.  In 1989, he went to work as a law enforcement investigator for the US Department of Labor where he was responsible for financial investigations of labor organizations.   Currently, he is a Special Offender Specialist focusing on cybercrime.   An expert in cybercrime, he has been both the Secretary and President of the High Technology Crime Investigation Association.  Art Bowker is the author of The Cybercrime Handbook for Community Corrections: Managing Offender Risk in the 21st Century.

According to the book description of The Cybercrime Handbook for Community Corrections: Managing Offender Risk in the 21st Century, “In the early 1990s, professionals began to question how to address offender computer use while on supervision, but in the past ten years, tools emerged that were specifically developed for triage and field forensics. As these were rapidly embraced, it was still unclear what professionals could look for, how to look for it, and how to interpret what they found. This unique book resolves those issues. The book provides a clear outline of what can and should be done regarding the management of offender computer use. Not only does the text help community corrections professionals understand how to monitor computer use, but it helps realize how information gained during monitoring can assist in overall case management. The book takes the reader through all the paces of managing offender cyber-risk and is meant specifically for pretrial, probation, parole, and community sanction officers. The chapters are organized by major areas, such as community corrections and cyberspace, understanding the options, condition legality, operational legality, accessing cyber-risk, computer education, principles of effective computer monitoring, search and seizure, deploying monitoring software, and online investigations. Additionally, numerous appendices provide a wealth of information regarding model forms, questionnaires, and worksheets. This book moves the reader toward a more informed use of the technology that is now readily available to effectively manage offenders’ digital behavior.
