Technology and Communication Paper
Communication plays a crucial role in the criminal justice system in order to convey important information about a matter in question concerning a particular case in a way of resolving a complex crime, especially in a court of law; therefore, effective communication is required so that the exchange of information is clearly understood among the criminal justice professionals. At some point in time, the development of technology undergoes change and improvement where our communication techniques begin to gradually develop, often into something more effective or advanced. The advancement of technology has an effect on the communication capabilities of specialized databases in the criminal justice system, for example, the Automated Fingerprint Identification system (AFIS) and the facial recognition method both benefit law enforcement agencies through the use of computer graphics that are operated for the purpose of identifying facial descriptions and an individual’s fingerprints.
Technology in the Criminal Justice Environment
The comparison of at least two types of specialized databases that have an advantageous effect undergoing such development are the Automated Fingerprint Identification system (AFIS) and the facial recognition in identifying a criminal. These two specialized databases are security-based computer systems that identify and locate a person in a matter of minutes providing factual information based on the summarized data. AFIS and facial recognition are essential tools that help to provide criminal justice and law enforcement agencies with fully integrated communications system with the ability to log on to a computer system to view necessary data among criminal justice professionals, while including a comprehensive range of security safeguards in order to prevent undesirable consequences from happening.
