What will be an ideal response?
• Changing demographics – By 2040, the proportion of males ages fifteen to twenty-nine— the demographic group that commits the most crimes—will decline slightly. In contrast, the percentage of Americans over the age of thirty will increase, and the percentage of Americans over the age of sixty-five will increase dramatically.
• Technological advances – Many of the technologies, such as biometrics, DNA fingerprinting and analysis, electronic surveillance, and radio frequency identification, will continue to affect crime prevention and crime solving.
• Increasing diversity – The growing number of foreign-born Americans will lead to even more diversity among criminal justice professionals and criminals, not to mention the general public.
• Globalization of crime – Homeland security concerns have broken down many criminal justice borders. Given that international cooperation is a crucial component in antiterrorism efforts, the transfer of information and expertise between nations will undoubtedly become a hallmark of crime-fighting operations
