With the advent of various technological advancements, law
enforcement efforts in the investigation and prosecution of crime have
been met with positive results. However, with every advantage comes a
disadvantage. Criminals have also benefited from these technologies and
use the same advancements that law enforcement employs during the
commission of their crimes, or as a tool for their crimes (this is
evidenced in computer-related offenses and the misuse of the internet).
In a 3 – 4 page paper (excluding title and reference pages), address
the following areas in full detail: summarize the advantages of
computers/software and the use of computer technology in investigations,
summarize the disadvantages to law enforcement with respect to the
advancements of computers, research a case where the computer was used
to aid in the commission of a crime, research a case where the use of
the computer was beneficial to the prosecution in a criminal case, and
provide a final conclusion/paragraph that addresses your subjective
opinion as to whether these technologies, in an overall sense, are of
benefit or a hindrance to law enforcement efforts.
