There have always been criminals in any society. Wherever someone has wealth and enjoys prosperity due to their hard work, some other denizen of society who gives no effort into life comes and along and robs him of it. The most classic example of the criminal.
This type of criminal would have a starring role in an old mobster film, the ones so overplayed they would be in a stark non-color version. As with their movie persona, these guys committed some atrocities. The film portrayals simply scared viewers, but street crooks are the ones to be held accountable for most of the fright and damage to citizens. These bad guys are the ones who make the streets unsafe at night, and are bait for sensationalist news reports adding to the hysteria.
These guys were the worst of the worst in their time. They were the scum of the Earth, the ones that, when families saw their mug shots on television, would shield their kid’s eyes, as if their gaze had some strange powers. These were the reasons that America walks on eggshells with its prison system. It is a strange thing that such a free society breeds: you have these excellent freedoms, yet it is just hoped for that you will not abuse them. Unfortunately, while most of us follow our guidelines, guys like these don’t and it affects the rest of us harshly.
The criminals of old, the ones that would hold you up with their guns and then take all of your goods, although a force to be reckoned with no doubt, are child’s play to our crooks of today. The criminals of today have an overpowering advantage; technology is on their side. You might think that technology is really on the law’s side, making it easier and faster to get these criminals but in fact it just makes more easily concealed. The crooks have adopted the high tech equipment for themselves and become quite adept with it.
Consider the every day scene of crime A slick criminal who needed to get some cash would see an elegantly dressed individual, and judge their odds of being able to overpower them. Weapons brandished and in a concealed location they would threaten their victim, scare them with a gun, and tell them to hand over the wallet. Once they clean out the billfold, they would instruct the now impoverished person to pretend it never happened. They would then sprint all of the way to their hideout and lay low for a little while, until the police forgot about them.
In those times of old, only very rudimentary methods of catching the criminals existed, nothing like using satellite location and GPS tracking. These factors did not hurt the law too much though: with a well-staffed and highly trained police force, the thief was often caught quickly. There was not any tools of the trade they could make use of to try and scramble the evidence or hide themselves quickly. Once they were apprehended, there was no DNA clues to tie them at the crime scene, instead there was only a basic line-up and the victim, where the victim identified their abuser.
Technology to the rescue then, right? Unfortunately, this is not all true. While our steps in producing DNA tracking, fingerprints and other high tech commodities, these tools also aid the suspect’s evasion of justice. An automobile is the highest technology a criminal today needs to disappear; it doesn’t matter is they know the criminal’s name. If they can’t go out and get them, all of their data and leads are just paperweights. Many criminals, like hackers and identity thieves accomplish their economic raids through the web, so there is not a real crime scene!
A non-physical crime; the perfect crime. This is a double whammy for law enforcement, there is no scene of the crime and the criminal can hide behind virtual walls they have constructed. Another scary thing is that, in truth these hackers and identity thieves are, as mentioned before, rarely caught. So with no way to try and stop them, we can only hope to defend ourselves. Be very careful online, and protect yourself with a variety of Internet safety tools. And avoid dark alleyways!
