AI 中文摘要
数字取证已成为现代刑事诉讼的组成部分，但由于数据量增长、技术演进以及技术与法律利益相关方间的复杂互动，其有效整合仍具挑战性。此前研究主要聚焦数字取证工具与方法，对其更广泛的程序和组织背景关注有限。基于可用性研究与以人为本安全领域的新兴视角，我们将数字取证概念化为刑事诉讼中社会技术系统的一部分。为此，我们对德国北莱茵-威斯特伐利亚州司法机构的101名从业者（包括检察官、法官和数字取证专家）开展调查以探究该视角。结果显示，各方强烈要求改进数字取证与工作流程的整合、加强跨领域沟通、更紧密契合利益相关方的期望；同时揭示了提升数字取证可用性的巨大潜力，例如通过加强跨学科合作、简化快速获取证据数据与结果的流程，或改善利益相关方的培训与教育。
英文摘要
Digital forensics has become an integral part of modern criminal proceedings, yet its effective integration remains challenging because of increasing data volumes, evolving technologies, and complex interactions between technical and legal stakeholders. Although prior work has focused primarily on digital forensic tools and methods, its broader procedural and organizational context has received limited attention. Building on emerging perspectives inspired by usability research and human-centered security, we conceptualize digital forensics as part of a socio-technical system within criminal proceedings. We consequently investigate this perspective through a survey of 101 practitioners from the judiciary of the German federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, including public prosecutors, judges, and digital forensic experts. The results indicate a strong demand for improved integration of digital forensics into workflows, enhanced cross-domain communication, and a closer alignment of stakeholder expectations. They also uncover great potential for the improvement of digital forensics usability, e.g., through stronger interdisciplinary cooperation, easier and faster access to evidential data and results, or improvement of stakeholder training and education.
