Use of Technology for the Control of Crime

A large percentage of crime involves road-rage and rowdism in broad daylight. Often either there is no witness or do not depose due to fear. Technology can help in controlling crime and punishing criminals. 

Spy cameras are available in the shape of pens, buttons, watches, glasses etc. they should be made cheaper and public should be encouraged to use them. Videos of crime can be submitted anonymously to crime control units’ websites and the culprits identified and tried in fast-track courts without the need of human witnesses.

Vehicles must have their registration numbers printed in large fonts on the top. Surveillance cameras mounted on road lights can track the offending vehicle, even on deserted highways. Furthermore satellite images can be used for the same purpose.
