A Vision Of Crimes In The Future Summary

Decent Essays
In the TED talk, “A vision of crimes in the future” Marc Goodman speaks about how advancing technology is used for crime. From terrorists to robbers, the use of technology allows these people to have an advantage over law enforcement. The terrorist attack in Mumbai used modern communications to allow the terrorist to have an advantage over the police by having a live feed of information from a control center. On the other side of crime is the advancing of gene and cell technology. The same technology that saves people from cancers and vaccines can modify and create new kinds of viruses to harm people. I believe Mark Goodman is correct when he explains that the technology that is made to help people can also be used against people. As technology

    Why people commit crime can be a very thought question, and maybe impossible to answer without some concepts. “Theories are devised to explain how a number of different correlates may actually be causally related to criminal behavior rather than simply associated with it." Anthony, W. (2012) Criminology, page 13. Theories of Crime brought lights on a various causes and reasons for crime such as poor parental, birth on financial hardship, and birth defects. Other reasons provided are genetic, psychological, and environmental; example, a mother on drugs and father’s cell compromised by drug use, lack of food, hunger, poor education, and all of these negatives things can influence someone to commit crimes.…

    Crime Control As Industry: Towards Gulags, Western Style by Nils Christie, a professor of Criminology at the University of Oslo, is somehow a ground-breaking book to the extent that it argues that ‘’crime control, rather than crime itself is the existent danger for our future’’ and that systems of crime control have the potential for developing western style Gulags, or concentration camps (p.15) Crime Control as Industry is divided into 13 chapters each of those filled with very concrete and heavily revised amounts of data which try to explains us the readers how managing crime has turned into a reasonably big industry; “the crime control industry” and how it will continue to grow because unlike most industries there is “no lack of raw-material” as crime is in endless supply. But it goes further into my interpretation as Nils Christie also suggests that the increased prison populations, especially in the United States characterise a move ‘’towards Gulag’s western style’’. Christie argues that the fundamental problems of this threat are the unequal distribution of wealth and the lack of access to paid work. In this third edition the author does a quite memorable job as he documents the enormous growth in the number of prisoners in recent years by giving us a global perspective to incarceration and by comparing how unequal imprisonment rates between likely European countries are.…

    Assess the contributions that labelling theory has made to our understanding of crime-21marks Apart from Marxists, most approaches to the understanding of crime accept the difference between offenders and non-offenders. However, one group of sociologists have questioned this approach. They argue that the approach’s assumption that lawbreakers are different from the law-abiding is incorrect. The Labelling theory, however, suggests that most people commit criminal acts, but only a number are caught and stigmatised for it.…

    Another reason why technology is so important to us on a daily level is because of our local government. Our local government needs to keep files and records on file for their local citizens and for other government matters.

    Deterrence does not seem to work well in the modern criminal justice system. According to an article by Tyjen Tsai and Paola Scommegna, the United States has the highest amount of people incarcerated in the world (Tsai, Scommegna, 2012). This means that obviously, people are not being deterred correctly because they continue to break laws and get arrested. Deterrence should make the punishment swift, severe, and certain and can deter generally and specifically (Gibbs, 1979 p. 653). In modern day, people can commit crime and wait many months before going to court.…
