Emerging Technology Chapter Four
Chapter 4: Goal Present and discuss emerging technologies that impact the criminal justice field and the management of technology.
Major Trends and Issues • Wireless technologies and architecture • Data-mining tools: AI, expert solutions, neural nets • Broad bandwidth technologies • Integration and enterprise solutions • Natural data and sensor technologies • Biotechnology and criminal justice “IT” • Privacy and ethical concerns
Wireless Technologies: Connectivity Solutions for Law Enforcement • Mobility advantages • Reduction of infrastructure • Ubiquitous interface • Multiple platforms
Data-mining Technologies • Can information technology be used to help facilitate better decisions among law enforcement professionals? • Artificial intelligence vs. expert systems • Neural nets and decision making • Best examples
Broad Bandwidth Solutions • Criminal justice investigative vs. record files • Complex data issues • Transmission through broad pipe solutions • Memory and processing requirements • Case solution benefits
Natural Data and Sensors • Video monitoring and facial recognition • Acoustic sensor data • Integration with text sources • Profiling crime environments • Next generation sensors
Biotechnology and Criminal Justice Technologies • DNA and other bio-identification technology • “Iris” and other biometric data • Prediction and biotechnology • Next generation biotechnology
Scope of emerging technologies Integration models CITA funding source Changes in funding paradigm/strategy Stand-alone vs. enterprise software solutions Stove pipes within jurisdictions and across communities Integration and Enterprise Architecture Solutions
Integrated Justice • CAD/RMS “end-to-end integration” • Enterprise application integration • Mobile access to LAN • Regional integration • Jail/booking/criminal history • Law enforcement, prosecution, courts, corrections – model programs in every state • Standards and models supported by US DOJ –XML is the global, enabling standard
Critical Technology for Homeland Security – A Model for Justice • Knowledge management/data mining • Information sharing with layered security • RISSNET/LEO integration • Stronger authentication/biometrics • Data repositories/warehouse/virtual databases
Critical Technology for Homeland Security – A Model for Justice • Collaboration and web portal technologies • Simulation/modeling • Middleware enterprise application integration (XML standards) • Wireless interoperability
Critical Technology for Homeland Security • Challenges: • Enter once, use electronically • Integrity of databases • Middleware, enterprise integration tools • 22+ systems down to 1 or 2 (agencies in DHS) • Architecture must be dynamic
Developing Technology • Knowledge management – data warehouse, text to data, data to graphics, analytical tools • GIS • Overhead imagery – space technology • Security – providing for layered access • “Communities of Interest” • “Sensitive But Unclassified” – SBU • Industry access to law enforcement and intelligence files • Communications and interoperability
Knowledge Management Applications • Crime analysis (demo) • Incident based reporting systems • Jail management/security • Investigative analysis tools – numerous • Intelligence/information sharing systems • Tech transfer – ONDCP/CTAC • Web site www.epgctac.com • Homeland security drives massive tech development – see demo
Crime Analysis Demo • Some major software vendors • Crimeview/Arcview • Omega Group “Crimeview” integrated with ESRI Arcview www.omegagroup.com • Mapinfo - web site www.mapinfo.com • Consider pros and cons of these 2 leading vendors – see article handout • Training: NIJ funded crime mapping and analysis training program at Rocky Mountain LECTC, see http://rmlectc.dri.du.edu
