The crime rate nowadays is decreasing compared to the past due to advanced technology which can prevent and solve crime. Do you agree or disagree?
Compared to the past, the crime rate is dropping because of high-level technology
that is
able to inhibit and identify criminals
. I agree with this
statement, as the computer programs
present today efficiently monitor criminal actions
online. Moreover
, public cameras
are commonly placed in public places, preventing criminals
from acting.
Advanced computer programs
make it possible to trace and spot criminals
as these people communicate frequently with others through social media or through various communication groups. Advanced IT programs
can help to hack the internet and get access to closed communication groups where atrocities are being planned. Therefore
, people that appear suspicious based on their communication and activities online can be identified and monitored more closely with the aim to detect and prevent potential criminal events. In previous years, criminals
communicated by other means than the internet (by physical meetings, by phone, or by posted mails), making it more challenging to trace their actions
and contacts. For example
, a number of cruel terror events have been prevented because of online tracing of criminals
.
Moreover
, in public areas, camera surveillance hinders potential perpetrators from harmful actions
as they know they will be traced and potentially identified. Videos and images from these cameras
are stored, thus
in an occasion of a criminal event, it is possible to find the record from the day of interest and potentially identify the persons and the actions
that were performed, thus
making it possible to solve a criminal event. Cameras
in public places were not present previously, thus
criminals
could perform atrocities without being concerned about being captured on a video. For example
, after cameras
were placed in metro stations in Oslo, the number of robberies reduced significantly.
To conclude, the use of advanced computer programs
to trace criminals
online and the use of public cameras
to spot criminal actions
have made criminal actions
drop compared to the past when this
technology was less developed.Submitted by krishers on
