You have just graduated from the AIU Online Criminal Justice program and acquired your dream career working with the National Criminal Justice Reference Service (NCJRS). You love to write articles of criminal justice interest, and because the NCJRS provides links to millions and millions of criminal justice references, you find yourself in awe of your career. For your first assignment, you have been asked present a report at an upcoming criminal justice conference. This report will help your colleagues better understand how databases, technology, polices, and so forth affect the administration of justice and the outcome of court cases in particular. Your training coordinator expects you to highlight several examples of how criminal justice databases, computer technology, and policies have changed the way crimes are investigated and how criminals are brought to justice. Address how 2 of the following databases, technology tools, and policies have changed the legal landscape in the United States in your paper of 3–4 pages. On the two topics selected, you should address the history, administration, purpose, and so forth:  

Criminal Justice Policy                                   Criminal Justice Technology                  Criminal Justice Database

Three strikes laws                                            Fingerprint analysis                           Modus operandi database

Abstract

This paper will explore the history, purpose and impact that (the two topics selected from either policies, technologies or databases) have on the criminal justice system.  Terms and definitions will be addressed and elements and characteristics that are integral to the understanding of these topics will be explored.

Introduction

Here the overall topic would be presented in terms of the overarching category of “technology” (or policy or database) in criminal justice. So perhaps the selection of two technologies (or policies or databases) would be a good idea so that the author could pull them together and talk about technology(or policies or databases)  in CJ in general first.  Then I could bring in each technology (or policies or databases) and explain them separately and talk about each technology’s (or policies or databases) impact on the system.

Fingerprint Analysis

Ballistics Testing
