1. The increasing use of information technology in the criminal justice system is often assumed to be a positive development. However, several of the readings have touched on some negative, unintended consequences of this increased use of new technology. For this essay question, you must identify two negative consequences of the increased use of information technology in criminal justice. Describe each issue and explain how it has had a negative impact. Then thoroughly explain how you think each negative impact could be overcome.
2. Advances in technology continue to revolutionize policing in important ways. Three key advancements that are being used today are body-worn cameras, license plate readers, and gunshot detection systems. You must choose one of these three technologies and find two research articles that evaluate the effectiveness of the technology for policing. In your answer you must 1) describe the technology, 2) describe the findings from the two articles about whether or not the technology is effective, and 3) discuss any weaknesses or problems with the technology. Additional notes:
1. You must use Google Scholar to find the research articles as instructed below. They must be articles from academic research journals. Do not simply search the Internet to find information or you will lose points.
2. At the end of your paper, include a full bibliographic reference for your two articles. You must use the citation and referencing instructions listed later in these instructions or you will lose points. Read those instructions carefully, even if you think you already know how to appropriately use citations and references.
You must cite any sources that you draw on, which must include the course readings and lecture notes (where relevant). If citing the lecture notes, add (lecture notes) to the end of the sentence. When citing the course readings, cite the authors’ last names and the year of the publication. You can include information from outside readings, but this is not necessary (except for question 2 where it is required), and including outside readings will not be a substitute for citing all the relevant readings from the course. If you include outside readings, cite the authors’ last names and the year of the publication in the text of your answer. Then add a separate page at the end of your exam that includes the bibliographic reference(s). Guidelines for citations and bibliographic references are included below.
Keep in mind that these are essay questions, not short-answer questions. Your answers should be thorough and of sufficient depth for a graduate course. Finally, both of your answers must adhere to the following format guidelines:
All answers must be written in 12 pt. Times New Roman font, and double-spaced.
All pages must have a margin of 1 on all sides.
Label the beginning of your answer with the corresponding question number, but do not type the actual question in your document.
Type your name in the header of your document.
Do not include a title page. The first page of your document should begin with your first answer.
There is not a length requirement, but successful answers are typically about 3-4 pages each.
PLEASE INCLUDE CITATIONS FROM MY LECTURES THAT I SEND YOU and outside source on the second question. At the end of your paper, you must include a list of bibliographic references APA format. Thank you
