Technoscience in crime detection and control: A review

Abstract

Technoscientific artefacts are increasingly perverted in increasing wave of crimes across the globe. It is only technoscience that can contain this problem by developing the matching techniques for crime detection, prevention and control. Using available literature, this study reviews the role of technoscience in equipping the world with tools for crime detection and control, thereby improving safety of living environment, personal and property security, proof and identity and authenticity. It is recommended that a larger allocation of resources be made for research and development of technologies for crime detection, prevention and control. © 2010 Asian Network for Scientific Information.
