Cameron is the creator of Digital Behavioral Criminalistics – a combined application of numerous forensic disciplines―digital forensics, criminalistics, and behavioral sciences―to meaningfully uncovering offender thoughts and actions in digital artifacts―as well as the Cyber Pathway to Intended Violence (CPIV)―a model for assessing violent offenders who have engaged computer systems, devices, and/or online resources before, during, and/or after a premeditated, violent act. These important emerging topics were published in his book chapter Digital Behavioral Criminalistics to Elucidate the Cyber Pathway to Intended Violence in the International Handbook of Threat Assessment, 2nd Edition (Oxford University Press, 2021).
