Essay / Research Paper Abstract
An 11 page research paper that examines the attitudes of crime investigators toward the use of technology. The writer argues that the introduction of new technological tools brings up the question of how investigators approach technology in their working practices. Does it cause them to become reactive in their response to a particular investigation, that is, to feel complacent that their marvelous new toys will make the crime solvable? Or, does new technology promote a proactive approach, causing the investigators to see technology as a tool that will enable them to limit the opportunities for crime? This literature review suggests that the answer to the latter question is a definitive "yes," as investigators have embraced any and all technological tools as instruments that allow them to proactively pursue goals that would otherwise not be possible. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

in equipment, abound. This new technology offers crime investigators a plethora of new tools and resources. This development, brings up the question of how investigators approach technology in their working
practices. Does it cause them to become reactive in their response to a particular investigation, that is, to feel complacent that their marvelous new toys will make the crime solvable?
Or, does new technology promote a proactive approach, causing the investigators to see technology as a tool that will enable them to limit the opportunities for crime? The following literature
review suggests that the answer to the latter question is a definitive "yes," as investigators have embraced any and all technological tools as instruments that allow them to proactively pursue
goals that would otherwise not be possible. Interestingly, there does not appear to be any studies regarding the attitudes of police officers toward technological innovations in crime investigation. (The
student researching this topic should know, however, that the writer did not conduct an extensive search and the student may be able to locate such a study when writing his
or her own paper.) Therefore, evidence of the effect of technological innovation on crime investigators attitudes must be deduced from available literature. Law enforcement literature abounds with articles that detail
the latest technological innovations and how this information is being applied. These articles uniformly indicate that police investigators are taking a proactive stance, using technology as tools to expand the
possibilities of law enforcement. For example, McFeely (2001) outlines the principles of a new model of investigation that is being employed by the FBI to conduct investigations into major
criminal organizations. This model, which is entitled the Enterprise Theory of Investigation (ETI), encourages a "proactive attack on the structure of criminal enterprise," rather than viewing criminal acts as isolated
