Changes and Countermeasures of Investigation Activities Under the Background of Big Data

Abstract

In recent years, the ideas and methods of big data have caused a substantial change in the field of social and economic life and brought new opportunities and challenges to the public, prosecutors, and judicial organs. However, academic research on big data investigation is still at an early stage, and no theory and method of using big data systems have been formed. Therefore, this study focuses on examining the effect of big data on modern investigation activities and discusses how to use big data to improve the efficiency of investigation activities. The study also proposes the author’s views and opinions on how to maintain high efficiency in big data investigations. This study investigates the application of big data in investigative activities. First, the background of big data and the significance of studying big data investigation are introduced. On this basis, the origin and development of big data and the informatization of investigation are systematically classified. The connotation and changes of the investigation and the informatization of investigation under the background of big data are further examined. This study suggests that big data influences investigative thinking, investigative methods, and techniques. Moreover, traditional investigation methods should be reformed to understand big data investigation. Last, considering the risks that big data may bring to investigation activities, how to use big data to enhance investigation activities from the perspectives of privacy protection, platform establishment, and talent training is analyzed.
