CRJ 5110 Criminal Justice and Technology
Technology has revolutionized the field of criminal justice. From policing to after-the-fact crime analysis, the use of technology has greatly advanced the war on crime. Some hands-on examples of these techniques will be demonstrated: DNA fingerprinting, photographic imaging, bomb detection, and other developments in technology will be covered. Additionally, technology has also created severe problems for law enforcement. The availability of information to construct Weapons of Mass Destruction or even fairly destructive bombs are now commonplace. Also, criminals have the ability to commit crime trans-nationally using computers. Such problems for law enforcement will be closely examined.
