Identifying and reducing unique occupational stressors for digital forensics experts

Specialist law enforcement, defence and policing are known to be among the top occupations where employees are exposed to high levels of work related stress. The unique stressors related to law enforcement and defence (especially military personnel) have been documented in the literature. Although discussed, the unique stressors experienced by forensic scientists have not been extensively examined. This will be an initial pilot to identify the range of stressors faced by digital forensic experts.
