Introduction 2

Increased use of science and technology to fight crime is an infringement on personal privacy

Nowadays there is an increase in the use of new technologies against crime, especially CCTV and DNA .It’s reported that there are 4.2 million cameras in UK namely 14people per camera and 4 million Britons have been recorded since the establishment of national DNA database in1995.A argument about the introduction of technologies has arisen. Some people doubt that whether these activities are effective or it’s just a waste of money . In this essay the effect of these activities against crime will be carried out and the infringement of privacy will be focused on.


First of all let’s focuses on some positive results . It’s claimed that robbery and burglary have been reduced by 27% and 26% for the last 2 years separately in northeast England due to the introduction of CCTV . It may be true in some way .Nevertheless In term of investment It make up more than three quarters of total expenditure on crime during the period of 1996 and 1998.The government also made a budget of 170 million pound for CCTV programme between 1999 and 2003.It’s really expensive.(Deward heath coatamory 2007) Another factor needed to be considered is that it ‘s not always coincident between the report and reality. According to Rachel Armitage there is little research evidence to show CCTV works (2002).Conversely it ‘s an infringement of personal privacy. The camera is installed to probe criminal but it record every movement of you when pass it. when our personal detail are recorded in the government’s computers, it ‘s safety or not . It maybe stolen by hackers. There are countless virus and increase every moment ,The Internet is in high risk. who will guarantee the security of our information. Some commercial organizations need the information to make benefit and they may share the benefit with government.

Chinese literature "Journey to the West"


I have read an article about Chinese literature "Journey to the West" introduced in to London.The author described it as "a 16Th century work of Chinese literature".I think it's not enough so I want to introduced more about it.In China there are Four great piecework of literature which include the "Journey to the West".It's a fairy tale but it's relative to some historical facts.In about 15Th century ,Buddhism was introduced into China from Indian. So many people travelled to India to learn Buddhism by walk.so the most important character in the book was real in history and we call it the journey of redemption.
It's very popular especially among teenagers .20 years ago when it was translated into TV programme ,so many people were waiting in front of TV for this opera.It become one of the most popular and successful TV series.Every Summer holiday,it is replayed on TV for young people until now.

BBC radio about speeding camera.

Recently I listen to BBC to our seminar. "It's quite interesing there was a programme discussing about "speeding camera" which is relative to our seminar. "Speedingcamera "means the camera is installed on the side of road to record the speed of the cars.It's used to controlled the speed of cars and make the roads more safe.Some bodies believe it's effective but o.thers disagree with it.One important thing is that it cost million pounds of the government to install it.

seminar 2

Before the seminar I have done research on recently technologies used by police in order to reduce criminal.also I have read some article giving comments to this situation. in the seminar I found it's a bit difficult to recite the author's opinion.but I still give some information about the technology and my opinion.The discussion had focused on both side of the situation namely advantage and dis and vantage .It ' interesting that two of our participants have got different result from the Internet about the effect of CCTV.One research shows that it's effective in reducing criminal but the other one was quite different.After all majority of us agreed that this technology should be introduced into the social area,but government need to take care of the data they have got from public.One important point I have got from the seminar is that government and some companies made lots of benefits from these activities.
