CJ216: Unit 8

In this unit, you examined the importance of information technology and its application to crime analysis. For this assignment, you will examine the importance of information technology and its application to crime analysis. Write a 700–1,050 word essay discussing how technology is used in crime analysis. Consider the following in your discussion: •Identify and explain three types of technology that are necessary for accurate crime analysis. •Identify four or more methods of collecting, storing, and retrieving information needed for crime analysis, using examples to support their importance. •Analyze two benefits of crime analysis to the community and two benefits to law enforcement, and why. Two resources are required and the textbook is allowed. Your viewpoint and purpose should be clearly established and sustained. You essay should be well ordered, logical and unified, as well as original and insightful. The assignment should follow the conventions of Standard English (correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling). The paper should be a continuous piece of writing that allows for your sustained viewpoint with logical order and organization. For example, three separate paragraphs answering the questions on different topics does not allow for this type of sustained development.
