Emerging Technologies

W​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​ith the advent of various technological advancements, law enforcement efforts in the investigation and prosecution of crime have been met with positive results. However, with every advantage comes a disadvantage. Criminals have also benefited from these technologies and use the same advancements that law enforcement employs during the commission of their crimes, or as a tool for their crimes (this is evidenced in computer-related offenses and the misuse of the internet). Address the following areas in full detail: summarize the advantages of co​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​mputers/software and the use of computer technology in investigations, summarize the disadvantages to law enforcement with respect to the advancements of computers, research a case where the computer was used to aid in the commission of a crime, research a case where the use of the computer was beneficial to the prosecution in a criminal case, and provide a final conclusion/paragraph that addresses your subjective opinion as to whether these technologies, in an overall sense, are of benefit or a hindrance to law enforcement efforts. 3+sources ap​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​a
