Nowadays, technology has become an important part of man 's daily routine. Activities such as purchasing online, making reservations to a restaurant, communicating by chatting or videos with people around the world, to even study from your own home are part of our everyday lives. Today, society has to acquire new knowledge in order to keep up with this Tech era; the way people live, work and communicate depends mostly on a computer and the internet. Although, some people want to blame technology for the many wrongdoing epidemic the truth is the evolution and advances of technology offer a powerful tool in today 's society as well as an invaluable help with the latest lawbreaking outgrowth. As delinquency is evolving with technology, how is the law enforcement implementing these new advances to help minimize crimes?
To begin with, one of the breaks thru revolutionary of technology to help seize crime is a program called PredPol. A System police have been using to anticipate infractions. This predictive-analytic software has been helping L.A. police precinct for the past six months and Santa Cruz Police Department for over a year with great results. This gadget keeps taps based on previous sequence of violence and misconduct based on similar patterns of past crimes and they put it all together along with some sociological information. At first it was only used to estimate where houses and vehicle burglaries might happen, but later, it was expanded to predict thefts, battery and assaults with an incredible 19% crime reduction over the past year (Kelly, 2014). Additionally, in Southern Florida many police departments are using portable fingerprints identification of possible suspects with any pending summons right offhand. To put it simpler, even though not too many enforcements agency are willing to change, the proof of using this software and technological gadgets has shown an impressive reduction in delinquency and they are willing to adopt it to revolutionize crime fights (Kelly, 2014). Also, one of the biggest advantages of modern computer and technology is the ability the law enforcement has to communicate between agencies in different states. …show more content…
Before, a suspect was able to go to another state trying to avoid apprehension, now the agencies has the power to transfer suspects information for officers to be aware of crimes and assaults outside their jurisdictions to make it easier to track any possible suspect (Davidson, 2014). Mooreover, enforcement agencies are using License plates readers (LPR), The LPR are attached to police vehicles enabling them to read any plates that comes across the police car and notify immediately if vehicles or owner has any pending violations or if vehicle is reported stolen. This system will alert officer and will track where vehicle is going (Jerpi, 2010). Next, surveillance cameras thru out any city are a great assets enforcement agencies has. Besides having many more option in identifying a suspect in a crime scene, digital memory is also more powerful since it will allow to save more precise data and for a long period of time (Davidson , 2014). Also crowdsoursing is a powerful way of identifying any suspect on a crime scene with a lot of attendees. By using 21st century technology and computers to analyze the data, they look through cameras, videos and snapshots all over the city to identify potential suspects on important or crowed events. Not only law enforcement are doing this, but it has come so popular and efficient hat now private companies are developing crowdsoursing technology to offer their services in any event that requires surveillance. One perfect example for this surveillance cameras would be the Boston marathon, the same system was used to identify the criminal (Haines, 2013). Pursuing this further, not only technology can help with the apprehension of potential human abusers but, it also help to stop crimes against endangered animals. Wildlife smuggling is a global epidemic. The prohibited exchange is driving animal such as rhinos, elephants, pangolins, abalone and sharks toward extinction. With this criminals getting more sophisticated, new high technology are being developed to identify these predators and help our endanger animals. Many wildlife agencies are partnership together to award the most innovative techniques to combat animal trafficking. Here are a few of the most promising new technology tools to
