Abstract:	Computer forensics has an increasingly important function in the forensic investigation of crime, both in traditional and computer crime. The term “computer forensics” refers to the application of scientific methods and techniques for the purpose of identification of perpetrators, collection, analysis, selection, storage and presentation of electronic evidence in order to successfully conduct criminal proceedings against perpetrators and contribute to proving their criminal responsibility or guilt. Applied computer forensics in criminal investigation is needed in criminal situations when there are indications that on a computer or in a computer system there are potentially important evidentiary materials relevant to a specific criminal case and its clarification and provision of evidence. Electronic evidence relating to the identification of a perpetrator, presence at the scene of an event, movement of the perpetrator in the space or location of the criminal event as well as evidence relating to the fact that the computer and computer systems are a means of execution or an object of a criminal attack. Computer forensics contributes to criminal research to provide solid and relevant evidence acceptable to the judiciary in the process of evaluating evidence in criminal proceedings. The paper will make a theoretical analysis of the methods and techniques of computer forensics and the steps of criminal investigation and provision of electronic evidence, as well as an analysis of the scope, structure and dynamics of computer crimes in the Republic of North Macedonia for the period 2019-2023 with application of statistical and comparative research method.
