The crime rate nowadays is decreasing compared to the past due to advanced technology which can prevent and solve crime

It is indeed true that the

crime

rates have decreased in recent times compared to the past time. I firmly believe that

technology

has played an enormous role in preventing

crime

.In

this

essay, I will discuss how

technology

can prevent and

crime

solve.

To begin

with the pros of

technology

,

CCTV

is an essential

technology

for society because it is active

day

in and

day

out.

CCTV

has become more popular for preventing

crime

such

as in Banks, homes,public places, cafes and shopping malls. People can control

CCTV

and

CCTV

’s data has been saved to a hard disk which is easy to access and any time .For a successful example, Dhaka's Mohammadpur (1207) was a high-

crime

area, but after the introduction of

CCTV

cameras,

crime

rates at Mohammadpur Police Station declined by 30 per cent.

Secondly

,

criminals

choose cyber

crime

but if individuals use antivirus

then

antivirus prevents a cyber attack from cybercrime

crime

or cyber-attacks.

On the other hand

,

criminals

are adopting new

technology

for

crime

such

as cybercrime, cyberbullying, and collecting people's data.

For example

, in 2016, Bangladesh's central bank was hacked by hackers and almost 1 billion dollars were lost in Bangladesh Bank.

Secondly

, In 2020, A famous Indian teenager Radhika (from Kalkata) raped by a criminal who collect an address from the internet (from Radhika’s Facebook ID). So, individuals should hide data from the internet which helps cybercriminals.

To sum up

, the

crime

rate

day

by

day

decreases but

criminals

adapt to new

technology

and

also

criminals

are following new

technology

trends. If people are aware of using the internet

then

cyber

crime

rate will decrease
