- Summary:
- A comprehensive overview of the effects of new technology on criminality, crime prevention, and the criminal justice system is presented in this new textbook/reader. Fourteen chapters explore five critical issues:
- How will new technological innovations 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?
- Applications of "hard" and "soft" technology are assessed in chapters by scholarly specialists on: the link between technology and criminality; crime prevention; policing; courts; institutional corrections; community corrections; and the justice system's relations with the private sector. Prof. Gary Marx's concluding commentary analyzes the social control and privacy implications of the many new technology applications. A comprehensive list of web sites is provided for further research on new technologies.
