If I could create some new technology to reduce crimes, I would start with surveillance systems. Ultimately there is already surveillance systems in place in some places. However, in my community there isn't any surveillance systems. It would be like traffic light cameras. It would tag vehicles that are around the area during the time of the crime. It would also be able to identify certain vehicles that come to the area before or after a crime is committed. That way vehicles could be identified sooner, and the criminals could be located and identified. In a specific part of town there are clubs at which there are drugs and fights frequently. By the time the Law Enforcement Officers get there they are usually cleared out making it difficult to press charges and get the correct information. Surveillance paired with Neighborhood Watch programs can decrease the amount of crime being committed.
