Law enforcement practitioners of the future will be aided in their criminalistics work by a number of technologies. List and define three of the new technologies that aid law enforcement in solving crime
Explain which of these technologies you feel is the best and why.
DNA profiling and new serological/tissue identification techniques, many of which have already received widespread acceptability. The use of biological residue, found at the scene of a crime, for genetic comparisons in aiding in the identification of criminal suspects.
Online databases for the sharing of in-depth and timely criminal justice information. Computers that serve as investigative tools have the greatest potential to affect criminal justice in the near future. Automated fingerprint technology, the National Crime Information Center and the Violent Criminal Apprehension Program (ViCAP) databases, state-operated police identification Networks, specialized services like METAPOL, and the FBI's CODIS are examples of information-based systems designed to help in identifying offenders and solving crimes.
Computer-aided investigations.The developing field of artificial intelligence uses computers to make inferences based on available information and to draw conclusions or to make recommendations to the system's operators. Expert systems, as these computer models are often called, depend on three components: 1) a user interface or terminal, 2) a knowledge base containing information on what is already known in the area of investigation, and 3) a computer program known as an inference engine that compares user input and stored information according to established decision making rules.
Computer-based training. Computers provide an ideal training medium for criminal justice agencies. They allow users to work at their own pace, and they can be made available around the clock to provide off-site instruction to personnel whose job requirements make other kinds of training difficult to implement. Computer-based training (CBT) is already well established as a management training tool and is used extensively in law enforcement. CBT has the added advantage of familiarizing personnel with computers so that they will be better able to use them in other tasks.
