Big Data, Electronic Evidence and Criminal Defence

RAV-Seminar “Digitale Beweismittel: Von Handydaten bis Umgebungsintelligenz – Strafverteidigung im Zeichen von Big Data”, Berlin
Big Data electronic evidence predominates more and more the evidentiary procedure in serious and organised crime cases in European criminal courts. Hence, law enforcement and courtroom participants are often still in ‘analogous’ mode and just begin to understanding the nature of digital evidence, the technologies to process digital data and eventually its revolutionising impact on their role in criminal procedures. It appears that criminal defence lawyers are facing a particular challenge in handling Big Data electronic evidence (eEvidence) since they are often not sufficiently prepared and equipped to process digital evidentiary data in contrast to prosecutors with the technological power of law enforcement agencies at their disposal.
Conference: Big Data – New Challenges for Law and Ethics
International scientific conference (see video presentations)

Uwe Ewald, presentation “Big Data in Criminal Justice – Few Chances and Serious Risks”.
Big Data: New Challenges for Law and Ethics, Ljubljana 22-23 May 2017
“Big Data” is a phrase that has been used pervasively by the media and the lay public in the last several years. Amongst many other fields, social control and crime control in particular have become one of the key emerging use cases of big data. For example, police predictive software produce probability reports on criminality and assure us that by using this, societies will reduce crime. Other programs are looking for patterns that would help us predict a terrorist attack. Criminal justice systems are using technological solution too, for instance, to predict future crimes of those applying for bail or those to be sent on a parole. Underlying these and many other potential uses of big data in crime control, however, are a series of legal and ethical challenges relating to, among other things to privacy, discrimination, and presumption of innocence.
