Abstract

The constant evolution of criminal modalities demands the adaptation of technological tools used in criminal investigations. Communication analysis can be decisive in establishing involvement and authorship in unlawful acts, although its technical complexity hinders both understanding and evidentiary assessment. Therefore, a clear and structured investigative method becomes essential to support analysts and practitioners within the criminal justice system.
