Future Technology Future Crime

The societal trends that I see impacting the criminal justice system over the next 10 years are not as easy to identify as I once thought. It is a question that has baffled most since the caveman first broke into another caveman’s cave and stole his fruit. There are

Criminological theories interpret the competing paradigms of Human Nature, Social Order, Definition of Crime, Extent and Distribution of Crime, Causes of Crime, and Policy, differently. Even though these theories have added to societies understanding of criminal behaviour, all have been unable to explain why punishment or treatment of offenders is unable to prevent deviancy, and thus are ineffective methods of control. The new penology is a contemporary response that favours the management of criminals by predicting future harm on society. However, all criminological theories are linked as they are a product of the historical time and place, and because of their contextual history, they will continue to reappear depending on the current

As human beings we all see and hear about crimes from a day to day basis. We all question why we have crime and what makes a person commit a crime.

The past trends of the criminal justice system are how we evaluate the system as a whole, and how we strive to make it better. The present is full of ideas towards a better future involving those better ideas made in the past. With today’s society of highly educated individuals, we can only speculate on what the future of the criminal justice system will be, but we can be assured of one certainty, it will change. The value of the criminal justice system in a changing society will also play a factor in what will become of the criminal justice system itself.

It is unfortunate that crime exists in our daily lives. There really is no way to stopping crime completely, no matter how many laws or punishment are present, people will continue to keep breaking rules. There are many theories of why that may be the case, for example, Caesar Lombroso and his “atavistic” theory with the Positivist School theory and how people were “born criminals”, or the Rational Choice Theory, devised by Cornish and Clarke, described that people could think rationally and how people will naturally avoid pain and seek pleasure referred to as “hedonism” (Cartwright, 2017, lecture 4). Since it is apparent that crime will continue to exist, it is not only important to understand the study of crime and the feedbacks to it,

By studying the data in incarceration and social inequality by Bruce Western and Becky Pettit it would seem that the most glaring indicator for future incarceration is lack of educational achievement. The growth of incarceration rates of young men with low levels of education is evident among all races. This growth is most evident since the early 1980's. This is about the same time that automation started replacing many jobs. The jobs that were replaced by automation first were the ones that required the least skill and education. The job market where a man could get a decent job with just a high school education or even a high school drop out who is willing to work hard was being replaced by computer controlled equipment. Strain theory would indicate that people who would have the opportunity to be conformers before automation would now not be able to achieve their goals and would now become innovators. The conformist attempts to achieve his goals by socially acceptable means while the innovator will try to achieve his goals through any means necessary. As the pathway of achieving goals by the conformist is shut off, the rise of more innovators would swell the incarceration rate. This would suggest that incarceration rates would only rise in the future as more and more workers, especially the least educated, are replaced by automation. The rise of more innovators would be enhanced as those who view material success as a worthy goal but realize that the means to achieve this

The future of the criminal justice trends are promising because there will always be need for the criminal justice. The more the community works with the criminal justice system the more technology one can come up with to help make the world safe.

Many citizens believe that there is more and more crime occurring in the United States each year. However, evidence suggests that, for the most part, the United States’ crime rate is decreasing while the rest of the world’s crime rates are increasing. The rate of both violent crimes and property crimes have significantly decreased in the past two decades. In 2014, there were 9.4 million crimes reported, which is a drastic improvement from the 13.8 million crimes that were reported in 1995. Even though these are only statistics for the number of crimes that were reported to the authorities, the trends of victimization also support the idea the crime rates are declining.

Internationally the criminal justice system is very complex; you have other countries religion, economy, social and humanity issues as well as jurisdiction issues. There have been many politically personal that have evaluated the past, current and future trends in crime globally. They have written books, papers and blogs on the internet as well with their thoughts and ideas along with the documented information for their thoughts. As the article “Preparing for the Future: Criminal Justice in 2040” that Nancy Ritter prepared states that Chris Stone shares his prediction of the global trends.

Crime Investigation is an important aspect of the law enforcement in any country. It is considered as the most vital aspect of legal system as both the law and order as well as justice system is dependent over the quality of crime investigation in the country. Not only that. There are several aspects related directly or indirectly with the phenomenon of crime investigation. An example of that may include the fact that a strong criminal investigation system helps prevail a sense of justice in the country which in turn reduce the rate of crime owing to fear of getting caught.

The key issues in the causes of crime is that there is not enough rehabilitation that can be utilized to ensure that past criminals would not convert back to their old habits. Also, there could be more support for the past criminal. This would allow them to understand that they have help to ensure they are continuing to be great citizen of the United States. Another key issue in the causes of crimes is that there is not enough program that will assist with the life changes of the pass criminals.

Crime has always been, and always will be a factor in society. It has existed since ancient times. The first recorded laws were “Hammurabi’s Laws”. A set of rules engraved in a large pillar in the middle of the Sumerian city-state of Babylon. Back then the punishments were simple. If you stole something, then your hand was cut off. In the modern day our laws are not so simple. Now a days something minor like theft, or minor drug possession could land you a harsher sentence than embezzling millions of dollars. Today the laws are dictated by a scared people and a justice system that doesn’t do its job. The punishments for crimes often do not fit the crime committed. More often than not one’s social status can directly impact the sentence one would receive.

crimes are on the rise but they can be decreased with certain security measures taken. Criminals

The third top reason responsible for the decline is the new computer technology available today. In the past, computer systems lagged behind with criminal activity data by three months or more, unlike today where as the crime statistics are updated continuously" (Giuliani Art. 108). Giuliani explains, "computer technologies allow the mapping of patterns and the establishment of casual relationships among different categories of crime. In a truly interactive use of

Crime has diverse effects on society in various ways, shapes or form. These criminal effects are impacted either on an individual basis or a continual basis in our everyday lives. These effects or outcomes, if you will, are prevalent on our streets we live on, the neighborhoods we are in, and even the states that we live in. The end result of crimes in our society has many different physical, financial, and emotional impacts. Among those influenced are the public, the victim, and the Police/Law Enforcement.
