Description
Fourteen chapters explore five critical issues : how will new technological innocations affect both crime prevention and crime control policies toward offenders and victims? Will criminal justice personnel be replaced by new hardware or software? Will technology lead to increased privatization of traditional justice functions? Is there research evidence that technological innovations have improved the criminal justice system's response to crime? What is the link between technology and various forms of criminal behavior?
