License plate check tecnology

http://www.masslive.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/05/license_plate-check_technology.html

This article talks about having a type of technology that can scan many of license plate number at once to track anyone who has or maybe be apart of a crime. In the article their are multiple arguments of how this can envade peoples privacy for the simple fact that the police will know where you were every secound of the day and this can interfer with your life. This Arrticle discussed on how this type of technology would be very expensive to use and that this could be a wast of time and unecessary.

Future plans: A tool to recognize faces

        The State police will soon have the latest face-recognition technology. They are now expanding surveillance camera network's to screen entry and exit airports, railway stations, stadiums, and key government offices and etc.. for people with criminal or terror links. Senior police officers say "the technology is likely to be implemented first at the landmark Sree Padmanabhaswamy temple here and later at other locations, including vital establishments vulnerable to sabotage in Kochi and Kozhikode. " The technology will enable law-enforcers to track and capture single or multiple faces when people enter or exit important institutions through access-controlled channels covered from all angles with cameras. This type of technology is a good strategy for finding criminals, but it also seems like with this type of technology people would have to register themselves somehow for the police to find who's committed a crime or not. With this type of technology it can go either good or bad.

Interview

Interview:

 As I was talking with Dr. Fredrick Zenhousern a professor in medical science, he discussed on how to solve crime faster with better technology using DNA. Scientist  at university Arizona have developed a rapid DNA field testing machine that can go in the field of military and police dectectives. They want to be able to solve crime in just a couple of hours instead of fourteen days because in that amount of time more crimes can be committed.

Me: Is there anything new for trying to solve crime with DNA?

Dr. Fredrick Zenhousenr: "DNA samples will now be sent to a specialized catridges and no longer sending samples to a centralized labrotory, the reason why is because it takes longer and it can possibly damage the DNA."

I learned from my interview that scientist are trying everday to imrove solving crime and each day techonology is getting better.

Apps for crime??

Today in our world you can downlaod apps onto your phone, computer, and almost any hand held device to find out info of what is going on in your neighborhood and what kind of people are living in your area. These apps can tell you how many people have commited crimes, such as if they went to jail or prison or if they are a sex offender. These types of apps can trace the people living in your neighborhood and can tell you where the people stay. Apps like this can help be more cautious of our surroundings, but I also think that these apps can also cause a problem depending on how people use these apps the right way.

Introduction

My project is on how "Technology is resolving crime". Everyday there is a crime committed and because of the help from technology we are able to solve it faster, easier and it is less of a hassel.   Crime solving has drastically changed over time. For example back in the 1970's solving crime wasn't as easy as it is today, and also people where able to get away with the crimes they did back then. Every day technology is changing even this exact hour. There are always constant changes and ways to solve crime. So in my project I will be discussing the type of technology we use, the amount of time spended on solving crime, how is technology better today then it was back then, and last but not least what can be improved or better on solving a crime.

Forensic science playing a role in solvong crime

 This article talks about how science plays a big role in solving crime and how it helps us. Forensic science is the investigation and techniques used to apprehend crime and obtain legal evidence. The article explains that there are many different ways to discover forensic data including fingerprinting and performing autopsies. Forensic science techniques are used in accordance with technology to maximize the potential evidence available. There are many different tools needed to obtain the forensic evidence including computer for analyzing DNA. Technology used in criminal investigations only help detectives reach the objectionable goal of finding the offender.

Technology improving the fight against crime

 In this article talks about how everything is computerized for crime. The article explains, "Everything". How you can go to all recipients and can go to the neighborhood maps. People can ship out and can get the information and can bring it together.They can bring it together in a variety of ways - from geo-mapping. This gives authorities a sort of snapshot of what may be going on in a particular neighborhoods. Geo-profiling can give them some leads on who might be responsible says Bishop, "You can take all the information and start entering it into a database and it resolves similarities and likes and gives investigators leads on potential individuals - individuals who are suspects potentially - who've been involved in that particular type of crime." This article is very helpful because it gives me info on how people are able to find certain information and the time.
