of criminals, but rarely more advanced than that. As forensic tools are developed, criminals develop new techniques and tactics for subverting those tools. Consequently, the tools must evolve in an
ongoing cycle. The development of new forensic tools that incorporate the latest in scientific innovation is therefore critical to the practice of criminal justice. This paper will examine the development
of a new forensic tool based on hypothetical future technology to illustrate how existing tools evolve to keep up with improving scientific standards. This paragraph helps the student examine some
of the shortcoming in the existing forensics discipline of biometrics. Biometrics is one of the most useful and fundamental of all forensic tools. Forensic scientists can make use of biological
information such as fingerprints, facial features, blood type, and DNA to make positive identifications of suspects to assist in the solving of cases. For instance, if a person is arrested,
they are fingerprinted and those fingerprints are entered into a national database for future identification. If that person commits another crime, and their fingerprints are found at the scene, they
can be tied to the individual in question, and a positive identification can be made. The use of computers are instrumental in carrying out biometrics as they allow scientists to
algorithmically search through massive databases of fingerprints and other biometric data. However, there is a need for biometrics to involve more types of data in order to make better identifications
possible. For example, some police departments currently make use of surveillance cameras utilizing facial recognition technology to identify wanted criminals and other persons of interest in a crowd setting
(such cameras are usually installed on busy streets and downtown centers) (Fayin & Wechsler, 2009). Unfortunately, the use of such cameras presents certain ethical quandaries and their efficacy in establishing
