* In today’s world of fast-developing technology, in which the click of mouse can dispense a plethora of information, privacy for job seekers and employees is a significant issue. One type of privacy issue in the workplace occurs when a company gathers or circulates private or personal information about employees or candidates for employment.

Privacy can give us more confidence and freedom to reach a decision and practice social and political activities without fear or restrictions from other external sources. The disadvantages of privacy can be the difficulty of preventing a criminal offense from happening if we don’t know any info about the criminals. Privacy is the state or status of being detached from being observed or disturbed by other people, but sometimes in contradicting that privacy, it can increase safety and lessen the overall rate of

The use of technology by law enforcement has been around for centuries and has expanded extensively over the past two decades. Telephone tapping, CCTV, GPS tracking, “bugging”, eavesdropping, night vision, and computer surveillance are many forms of a type of search and

After investigating the crime scene, the investigator should run the victims information through the police database to see if he/she had any previous convictions. Learning that the victim has been to prison before can open up a whole new list of suspects and motives. After concluding with the background search, the investigator should search for any close living relatives or acquaintances that can provides the victims family background, employment history, close friends, and if any, enemies. The victim's residence would also be processed after receiving a search warrant. Any and all calendars with appointments, phone messages, voicemail, and answering machines would be processed. Information from bank statements and other financial information located at the victim's residence would also be processed. This would be used to trace an individual's movement through the use of their credit cards. Where they were prior to the crime might be traced through the use of their credit cards. Interviews with the staff of

Privacy and the conflicts associated with it that citizens face are some of the most controversial topics in the world today. One of the main conflicts that citizens deal with is if the government is spying on us all the time and that if people feel that this it is an invasion of their privacy. Peter Singer evaluates on this topic of the good and bad of privacy in his essay, “Visible Man: Ethics in a World without Secrets”. He explains how technology has changed the way people think about privacy. People know and share all kinds of information about themselves through social media.

221), from crime scene investigations to cyber security; law enforcement has an arsenal of advanced technologies, not yet in the public’s grips, legally that is. For example, crime lights for crime scene investigations are now equipped with preset wavelength designed to detect hair, fibers, and body fluids; while, Thermal Imaging, License Plate Recognition, and advanced technological networks that disseminating timely transmission of information. From massive servers bundled with advanced encryptions to networking capabilities of proficient communications, law enforcement in this country are well equipped for the daily duties; not to mention the fleet of technological patrol units and armory vehicles. Although these technologies provide formidable information gathering methods, it is also important to develop methods of continues technological advancements. Crime is inevitable, criminal behaviors is certain, thus, running parallel to technology advancement’s, organizational restructuring will also be the future of as deviant behaviors

The research for this paper revealed several articles containing proposed frameworks that combine the approaches outlined above in the effort of offering the greatest analysis efficiency alongside data privacy protection. This section focuses on outlining the proposed frameworks, the positive aspects, and any known challenges. Gupta (2013) approaches privacy protection during the forensic investigation process by proposing a framework based on the logic that criminal behavior and evidence remains similar from case to case. The framework consists of three modular stages of an Expert System, Evidence Extraction, and Ranking. The Expert System is a database comprised of historical digital crime cases, case profiles, and stored images of the

The answer to the question of privacy in the present society depends on one’s perspective. Some may say that the breach of privacy in society is at an extreme and should be reduced, while others may say we are at an appropriate balance of security and privacy. Although we are not quite at the level of extremity of 1984, the rapid advance of technology may, at any point, make it possible for a technology identical to a telescreen. At that point, if the government chooses to implement it, it will be up to the people to

Technology has enhanced within the years into solving complex crimes using efficient techniques or tools conducted by a special task force to protect against possible undesirable events. For example, cyber-crime is through the use of computers and information systems that potentially access another’s computer without authorization that may have a corruptive effect, especially on the mind downloading illegal material used for personal gain emphasizing necessity. However, the technological communication efforts are databases built to conduct special task force assessments to stay current with the ongoing criminal activities that develop the usage of the technological information systems without authorization. These databases affect the communicating of information in a way to move faster and efficiently to conduct the arrest of a suspect, to obtain warrants, and to locate a criminal. In addition, the databases provide factual information to conduct further investigations and apprehensions helping the worldwide justice system to become more effective giving those faster results by means of communicating through the new innovative database technological systems. The cyber-crime unit will conduct an extensive investigation through the usage of the new

As technology changes the way we live, especially by making communication and transactions easier, the security of our personal information becomes an important issue if people are expected to trust the government, companies, and each other. Although scholars have provided several accounts of the importance of privacy, it still remains unclear how individuals view and value it. For the purposes of this essay, privacy is broadly defined as the controlled access to personal information or ideas. In this paper, I will examine Richard Posner’s article “Privacy, Surveillance, and Law” and Neil Richards’s paper “The Dangers of Surveillance.” Although both Posner and Richards begin with the same assumption that people fear public scrutiny, their different interpretations of this human nature lead to different conclusions. While Richards relates privacy to our fundamental rights so that he considers any surveillance dangerous, Posner’s belief that we value privacy as a possession that promotes other ends is more justified because it allows individuals to weigh the costs and benefits of surveillance.

Computers have evolved on how we communicate thru technology. People use technology in creative ways that can complicate the forensic analysis process, importantly when attempts are made to conceal digital evidence. The economy consists of millions of users spend hours surfing the web, stay up to date with current events, and take part in many activities.

This framing analysis includes 10 recent print news articles that address personal data privacy. The 5 dominant frames identified include: unauthorized data collection and misuse, commercial application of personal data, civil liberties (personal data in the legal system), data protection, and innovation. There were Pro and Con arguments present for each frame with the exception of the last, no Con arguments were present for the innovation category in the admittedly small sample of 10 articles. Eight of the 10 articles were reporting on the findings of proceedings of a court case or proposed policy concerning data privacy, the other two were reporting on business

The information on people’s name, addresses, and even Social Security numbers can be easily stolen from workplaces. Identity theft can be more threatening since it can happen in person instead of remaining anonymous through online hacking. Commission has compiled an accurate statistics which presents over five-hundred thousand cases, with the average victim being robbed seventeen thousand dollars (Bielski). The cases involving “data snatching” gives an insight on what is to be expected when criminals steal or duplicate someone’s information to use it for potential advantages. Federal agencies like the IRS, the Centres for Medicare & Medicaid Services, are usually the areas where big data are eventually used for money (“SIRF’s up). States continue to lag behind as the situation get worse, this type of crime is

On an average of 2% a year, personal records are exposed from over 700 public breaches over all areas of the departmentalized sectors. Global cost per every lost or stolen record are on the average of over $100 containing secret and touchy information. There were 35% more security incidents detected within the last

Before starting this class, I was unaware of how much information was being collected in my digital life and online. Living in Arkansas, I had heard of Acxiom, but gave no thought to what their business was. I was unaware that my information is probably being mined on a daily basis by a company that is just down the road. Regrettably, I am not in the minority. According to the Pew Research Center, almost three-quarters of people interviewed think it is important to be in control of who collects their personal information, but most do not believe their information is safe, and almost half do not understand how much data is collected (Rainie, 2016). At the same time, Dougherty issues a challenge to his readers, “name every digital property that collects information from your web travels. I can’t with any certainty” (Dougherty, 2014). This tells us that even those regularly involved in the field may be as vulnerable to data collection as the rest of us.
