With the advent of various technological advancements, law enforcement efforts in the investigation 
and prosecution of crime have been met with positive results. However, with every advantage comes 
a disadvantage. Criminals have also benefited from these technologies and use the same 
advancements that law enforcement employs during the commission of their crimes, or as a tool for 
their crimes (this is evidenced in computer-related offenses and the misuse of the Internet). 
In a 3 ? 4 page paper (excluding title and reference pages), address the following areas in full detail: 
summarize the advantages of computers/software and the use of computer technology in 
investigations, summarize the disadvantages to law enforcement with respect to the advancements of 
computers, research a case where the computer was used to aid in the commission of a crime, 
research a case where the use of the computer was beneficial to the prosecution in a criminal case, 
and provide a final conclusion/paragraph that addresses your subjective opinion as to whether these 
technologies, in an overall sense, are of benefit or a hindrance to law enforcement efforts.
