Assignment 1: Technology in the Courtroom
Over the past decades, technology has changed the face of the criminal justice process. The criminal investigation scene now has forensics, ballistics, and DNA, all of which must be introduced as evidence in the courtroom during cases. Due to these developments in evidence, the courtroom has also advanced in relation to the impact of technology on judgment.
