Future Crime Scenario Paper & Presentation

Future of crime Name Institution Date For many decades, security agents have relentlessly employed all mannerism at their disposal to fight crime. A crime can be termed as any behaviour or act that deviates from the overly accepted way of behaving, which is enshrined in the constitution. The constitution provides the basis on which to classify behaviors or acts as criminal activities. It is for these reasons that it is of common knowledge that certain acts can be considered as being crimes in certain countries and not in other countries. Crimes are more often determined by the community affected. For example, abortion and prostitution is considered as crimes by some states and at the same time, other states have legalized such acts. It is therefore prudent to say that there exists a discrepancy on what is crime depending on where one comes from. This forms the basis of educating people on what governs their country, which do not necessarily apply in other countries.

This provides law enforcers to make of baiometric and other technologies to single and smoke out criminals. As a result, law enforcers are always on their toe to bar this kind of behaviour by being on the lookout for new trends in crime. As society becomes more educated, new methods of breaking the law keep on emerging. A good example is the current trend in cyber crime which is proving a bit difficult to apprehend the offenders.
