Crime has long been among the most dominant issues in most nations for years.

It is often argued that


the technological revolution can lead to a reduction in current crime rate, whereas some people believe
that technology only exacerbate the problems. Personally, I find the first opinion more convincing and I
will evaluate both view is the essay.

On the one hand, it is understandable why some people argue that technology merely aggravate the
issues. The first reason is that offender can access to numerous classified documents about criminal
method effortlessly. With the proliferation of economical mobile phone and Internet users, taking
photos or recording a part of investigation is easily by the public. These photos and clips are essential
documents for criminals to delve into and scrutinize the most efficient way of committing a crime.
Hence, technologies fosters and facilitate offenders to take part in crime more and more. The second
reason is that digitalization in various sectors leads to prevalence of cybercrime as Internet environment
is a more lucrative and secure market for criminals. To illustrate, the appearance of crypto currency is a
breakthrough in fi-tech, however due to its decentralized trait, crypto currency is prone to use by
criminals to conceal their illegal business from regulators.

On the other hand, there are two evident benefits of technology in crime prevention. Firstly, the
invention of cutting-edge monitoring devices allows government to control citizens everywhere that is
unfeasible for current security force. If people knew they are under strict surveillance from government,
there would be little or no criminal intentions cross their mind, which play a vital role in the reduction of
crime rate. Secondly, the public’s awareness about order and laws has been enhanced much since the
prevalence of Internet. In the past, a few individuals are exposed to the laws knowledge People these
days can update the latest understanding about laws through a hi-tech gadget that together with the
frequent broadcast of trial on TV, frustrate citizens from being engaged in heinous crime. Therefore,
Technology contributes to the enhancement in public’s knowledge about laws, and also deter them
from participating in such delinquency activities.

In conclusion, together with technological revolution is the appearance of sophisticated kind of


offenders. However, the benefits of it in crime prevention and enlargement in public’s understanding
about laws and order is undeniable.
