Reaserch paper blog

The career I plan on going into is criminal justice. I want to be in a career where something new and exciting is always going on, and I want to feel like I have done something useful by the end of the day. For the research paper we are assigned to do in our English class, I chose the topic to be on the technology in the criminal justice field and how it affects the way the system works. I will explain the different types of technology that we currently have developed and some that we haven’t even heard of yet that they are just thinking up. I will also explain the advantages this would cause in the field and the disadvantages if there are any. I think that is a very good and important topic to learn about and also share to some others. Also in the research paper there will be a brief description of the criminal justice career, the history of criminal justice and the technology used back in the day. That will allow the readers to know how much it’s changed in the last 70 years. The technology is very important, without it catching criminals and solving cases would be so much more difficult. For example if we didn’t have dna testing then it would be allot more difficult to figure out who’s blood is on the murder weapon or the crime scene. Also finger printing is a technology that helps us solve many cases. So as our technology develops its becoming more and more difficult for criminals to commit their crimes, even though a lot do get away I believe that within the next few years to come we will see a huge increase if not decrease in our system. The following website will give lots more information if anyone’s interested. http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/nij/speeches/acjs.htm
