The future of Crime

By Jared Helm

I chose the subject of the future of crime because.

I think that the elements of what is defined crime or not evolving at a rapid rate in our society and find this almost unexplored, because of the, Rapid change in this field, it is very intriguing to analyze. We have hit a rate in which over sixty-percent of the world meaning to or not participate in illegal downloading. Is this number something that is going to be tackled in the near future or is this really in truth our societys next step in our evolution to accept and embrace the goods that technology will bestow our society and recognize that criminal activity has taken on a different role and those criminals hide behind corporate entities and wave far more power than they should in the decision making of our society and the future of our world. We will advance to a point in which the whole canvas of crime will change to an unrecognizable form. It has already begun to hit this plateau with the whole new world of Cyber-Crime and many different new intuitive extortion methods. The criminals will not be on the streets but inside of the network the very network of our social media and the ones selling us our food, assuring us it is okay to eat, with a big oops twenty years later. While in my opinion I think that we are making headway in old world crime control and have had some serious fails in new world crime control. Where large corporations need to be dissected and held accountable for the harm that they cause and that this is a crime just as any

other that happens on the street. I think that resources from certain companies that have been deemed harmful to our world and or society will be forced to, in the future, to divide their resources in reshaping the damage that they have done. It is not that we are trying to take away their money necessarily but there needs to be a line drawn in the sand how you can accumulate wealth through the arts of money making. A couple of these companies that are monsters in the world of wealth and cause great damage either to our world or society, in my opinion the top three, would be the Big Tobacco Companies, Pharmaceutical Companies and Oil Companies, these companies do not make money without causing some sort of harm. These companies need the reigns tightened even further than they already are and they need to help reshape the damage they have done. Tobacco companies operate right in front of your face with big labels printed right on the front of the box, You will die. If smoke this, dont do it!! and they still are responsible for hundreds and thousands of deaths every year. They are forced to have this label printed on the front of the box. Yet, they still spend millions of dollars in advertisement to specifically design a campaign that targets young adults. Big Oil Companies should be forced to spend a majority of their profits at this point into repairing our world, that they have taken great part in destroying and creating a renewable energy source as at some point we will need to pull the plug entirely on fossil fuels. So, why shouldnt this company/companies help repair what they helped destroy? Why shouldnt they have the responsibility of ensuring no other company may retrace their footsteps? I think that they should have to. Someone has to be able to draw a line in the sand and say enough is enough. We need to start taking care of our mother Earth, or it wont be around for our children.

I will start first by analyzing Capitalism and its role in the future is defined by the right of obtaining private wealth. This system of a carrot on a stick has done us well in the form of production, growth, motivation all in hopes of achieving that ultimate goal of private wealth. We have the largest gap between the rich and the poor than I have ever studied of. Now, I am sure that there are some re-buddles to such a broad claim. So, I will explain. In past societies for example, a couple revolutionary wars that have happened, it was musket VS musket. Not to say that one side didnt have a lopsided amount of guns and ammunition compared to the other side, and that gap does indeed exist, but more saying the technology was close to the same. In our society the gap I am attempting to explain is much further. Companies have the power to hire private armys that in the wrong hands could give our own government a run for their money. Even our government at this point is forced to use these private armies. Not only will they have an army but they will also have technology that could we could barely comprehend to be possible in our times in the art of war. For example, Missiles guided via satellite that can travel almost half way across the world to their target. Who controls these armies is who is in charge of the resources. This gap has gotten so large that it has put the people in a place where they truly have no leader and, under my observation, seem to be sub consciously aware and still acting accordingly. This gap is growing at an exponential rate and I believe that it has come to a point in which we have to evolve. I still think that this system makes the most sense, for our currents natural human instinct, but I will claim that It is our generation that needs to evolve and possibly stretch into a reformed version of capitalism, in were we possibly use some more Socialistic type views, I hate to use that word because it holds, for some reason, a measure of a bad taste for some peoples mouths. With so many EXTREME moving pieces in play in our economy, a balance needs to be

achieved; between our Technology and a partial amount of modern rewrites of governmental reg. we will solve the riddle of resources and hopefully only leave the whole Natural Disasters bit as a possible collapse. We are faced with these economic trials and by overcoming them, and learning to adapt we are preparing and or aligning ourselves to be ready for the next step in our evolution, in where we realize that we need technology, and it will be what will set us free from our greatest fears. We live in a time were our weaknesses are apparent to those who would prey on them, and they do so out in the open, if someone thinks something is wrong with themselves there is people coming out of the woodwork to offer their miracle fix. Propaganda is dissected from all angles and usually will fail to breach fortifications of the modern mind, we live in a time where the knowledge to counter this fate is readily at our fingertips with just a click away. Be aware my beloved people of this world! Look around you; do not take what you see at a glance, of what they tell you to think, of what they tell you are okay to eat, to drink, to breathe, our generation will say that it did not succumb to this ignorance, this bliss.they will say we rose above the trials of our times.faced with economical & environmental collapse in the horizon, they will say that we are Giants! That we have evolved adapted and prevailed! it is our generation, this generation that I say.Arise Titans!

Technologies connection Ford in the industrial age processed the world around him in a very interesting way; he had an innate ability of recognizing methods to save time and the value of that time. Ford & Co. kept challenged every angle, crevice and screw to automate almost all of the creation of either a

part or the whole automobile itself. Basically where 30 men could do one job now it only takes 1, the type of employees have evolved concurrent with time, 95% unskilled and 5% skilled. So where do those other 29 jobs go? Who knowsBut what I do know is that application of labor saving-devices is still being prominently being used in the current world time of 2013. The realm of automation is an evolving living machine, companies are adapting with market shortages coming up with many out of the ordinary tactical decisions. Such asyou guessed itmore automation via Robots this time. We yet again repeat history as we implement more and more robotics through-out the world electrifying the world of automation. In, March, 2012 there was has been multiple articles appearing all over the web regarding Amazon.coms advancement in automation, with using robotics in their warehouses. One article, at www.theatlanticwire.com is entitled, Meet the Little Orange Robots Making Amazon's Warehouses More Humane. I am not sure how installing robots is exactly Humane, unless all of Amazons current employees are all cripples?... One worker, a former waitress says, That she misses the walking, now she is a former Amazon employee. There are next to no actual humans in Amazons warehouses as of 2013. It took a little over a year to go completely automated in their shipping department. It makes me wonder which company will follow this example of utopic business module. And which companies can go automated and which cannot. Connecting the dots. From this point shouldnt be that hard. This in effect throws us head first into a whole new industrial age. An example, relate this work to a police officer, instead of the amazon employee. How long it is before the patrol man is replaced by the patrol bot. I think that this age is going to affect almost all industries in one form or another. In where we will have time freed

to us that we could not have before because we were stuck within the structure in which we had designed us to be the workers. Now that machine will replace this we will hit an unemployment rate that will be devastating. These will be part of the growing pains that must commence if we are able to evolve to the level in which we gain back our freedom of personal trade. I think the
numbers show that in the last 30 years our crime rate has plummeted dramatically. This can be given credit to implantations of certain criminal justice models throughout these times. I would like to believe that as a whole we have more control of the crime than we did before. Technology has offered us many new tools that assist us in fighting the bad guys Which at times has proven to be combative with the controversial tracking methods that are being exercised in these current times, you can read into this matter via The Patriot Act & the Homeland Security Act of 2002. As I said earlier though, that is what I want to believe, that it is all getting better. Back in the day, a group of bank robbers could move through the country side without ever being recognized in public. The very robber with enough confidence could walk right into the police department and read their own case file without raising any kind of alarm what so ever. In todays world they would be tracked in a hundred different ways and there has been countless safety measures put into place to counter such thievery. Another example would be our species evolving far enough in science to understand forensic science and see how that plays a role in a lot of cases that would have been left a mystery if not for the aide of this science. There are much more fantastic advancements that have allowed us control of the situations, serving as justice to the wrong doings these persons had committed against society.

Final statement

After reading through all of this you may conclude that there are a lot of good positive things coming from our technology advancements. Something I didnt really even breach into

is affects that 3D printing will have on our world. We will develop our stem cell research. Which, is still, I will add is only in its infant stages and what they have been able to achieve with our bodys natural targeting system for needed repairs. Through this we will achieve not immortality, as there will still be some sicknesses as organisms evolve them-selves to our advance medicines, but we will increase the average life span of man by nearly 20 times within the next 50-100 years. We are talking some serious start trek type of stuff here. In which they basically will combine the technology of this research with that of 3D printing and be able to instantly regenerate skin/organ tissue. Healthcare will be something any human being should have access to if they are indeed a functioning member of that society. To printing off an unlimited amount of food for the world all the way to the medical side of things and being able to print off new hearts, and other vital human organs.
