The crime rate is now decreasing compared to past due to advanced technology which can prevent and solve crime. Do you agree or disagree?
In
this
modern era, technological advancements are contributing in different aspects. There is currently a contentious argument whether the crime
rate is now decreasing due to advancement in technology
. I, totally agree with the aforementioned notion with reasons explicated in succeeding paragraphs.
To commence with, the pivotal reason for the decrease in the number of offenders is technological equipment. As agencies like Interpol used different kind of technologies like security cameras, social media terror prevention
tool etcetra to keep track of criminals and prevent them from committing the crime
. For instance
, RAW intelligence of India provides information about terror attacks about to happen to Police so that they can be prevented. Thus
, technology
helps in the prevention
of crimes
.
Considering the after-process of crime
, technology
helps in many ways. First
and foremost, forensic science, technology
has made things easy like picking up fingerprints, DNA's from crime
scenes and matching with criminal database, which make investigation easier for the Police force. Secondly
, people
are aware of 24-hour technological surveillance so most people
do not commit crimes
. To exemplify, speed cameras embedded on the roads from which people
fear committing a crime
like overspeeding. Therefore
, technology
made investigation and prevention
convenient for anti-criminal authorities.
To conclude, technology
is a boon in this
aspect of anti-criminal tasks which helps in the prevention
and solving of crimes
which in turn leads to decrementing in the number of criminals and increasing fear in people
for committing crimes
. Thus
, criminal activities are decreasing due to advanced technologies.Submitted by Kashish Bhatia on
