Braga & Weisburd (2010) emphasize the importance of data-driven approaches in modern policing.

They
advocate for systems like CRMS to facilitate evidence-based practices, arguing that analyzing crime data
helps in efficient resource allocation and proactive crime prevention strategies.

Ratcliffe (2016) suggests integrating CRMS with advanced technologies like Geographic Information
Systems (GIS) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). This integration can improve crime mapping, pattern
recognition, and predictive policing.

According to Wall (2007), as crime records go digital, ensuring cybersecurity within CRMS becomes
paramount. He highlights the importance of protecting sensitive data against cyber threats and
breaches.

Chan (2001) focuses on the user aspect of CRMS, emphasizing the need for systems to be user-friendly
and accessible to all levels of police personnel. This ensures that the benefits of technology are fully
realized in day-to-day operations.

Skogan & Hartnett (1997) discuss how CRMS can facilitate community policing by enabling better
communication with the public and enhancing transparency. They argue that community involvement in
crime reporting and feedback can be streamlined through such systems.

Norris & Armstrong (1999) raise concerns about the ethical implications of data handling in CRMS. They
stress the need for strict guidelines and ethical standards to govern the use and dissemination of
sensitive information.

Brown (2013) discusses how CRMS can transform investigative processes by providing efficient access to
comprehensive crime records. He highlights that quick and organized access to past records can
significantly aid detectives and investigators in solving cases.

Manning (2010) touches on the impact of CRMS on public trust. He argues that transparent and efficient
handling of crime records can enhance public confidence in the police force, as it demonstrates
accountability and professionalism.

Sheptycki (2000) explores the challenges of crime data management in the context of globalization. He
suggests that CRMS should be adaptable to cross-border crime analysis, aiding in international
cooperation and law enforcement.

Eck and Maguire (2000) emphasize how CRMS can aid in strategic resource allocation. By analyzing
crime patterns and hotspots, law enforcement agencies can deploy resources more effectively.
