Science is more useful than human judgement in stopping crime. To what extent do you agree?

There are a variety of points of view on the most effective ways to stop, or at least reduce, crime.
Although police forces have improved their investigative techniques over the last few decades, it has
been suggested that improvements in science have become more useful measures for preventing crime.
This essay will argue that despite human judgement being superior in some areas, science is improving
to be far more reliable in this field overall.

The reliability of science and the extent to which it can be used to stop crime is far-reaching and fairly
conclusive. Technique such as identification of criminals from their DNA and the ability to detect even
the smallest tracks of materials in order to further police investigations are used as standard all over the
world nowadays. These scientific advances have made it more challenging for criminals to operate and
given the police forces a wider variety of tools with which to tackle an ever-increasing range of crimes.

However, it must also be recognized that these scientific techniques need to be implemented by human,
because human’s judgement is necessary in deciding how a specific technique may be best serve law
enforcement services and the wider society. In addition, in some particular field, human abilities exceed
those available through scientific means. For example, the skill of super recognizers who are people with
the ability faces easily, has yet to be match or beaten by any computer until now.

In conclusion, science has shown itself to be extremely useful in stopping crime. Although human
judgement is undoubtedly crucial when it comes to the successful implementation of any scientific
techniques, it is unarguably those techniques are the most instrumental in the reduction of crime
overall.
