The goal of ensuring transparency within a criminal justice agency to those they protect
and serve is achieved by requiring that agencies that use technology never violate an individual's
rights and/or make sure they follow department policy and procedures when it comes to
maintaining records. A multidisciplinary approach is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of
technology use in criminal justice, taking into account ethical, technological, and public safety
issues while analyzing quantitative and qualitative data.
All of this is necessary to guarantee that
the data being collected is kept in compliance with process and policy and that no legal
requirements are being broken. Transparency and accountability are required by ethical concerns,
which means that audits of transparency are necessary to guarantee impartiality, equity, and
compliance with privacy rules. Examining all of the policies that law enforcement organizations
have in place entails keeping track of how they affect investigations and outcomes as well as
enhancing the overall effectiveness of precisely identifying suspect movements and descriptions.
A thorough examination necessitates input from all relevant parties, including affected
communities, law enforcement, and legal experts. Furthermore, I'd want to know how much
quicker investigations—both criminal and non-criminal calls for service—are concluded with the
best possible result. To ensure that the technology does not disproportionately harm any one
group, it is necessary to continuously analyze potential biases and unintended outcomes in light
of the long-term social repercussions. As part of the review process, evolving legislative
frameworks and ethical standards should be updated and modified on a regular basis.
