Email scams are a good example of people using technology
to commit crime. The kind of thing I’m talking about is an
email saying you’ve won millions in a lottery. Of course, they
just want your bank details!
Car manufacturers use technology to combat theft. So, for
instance, cars are much harder to steal these days. Car keys
are very high-tech. But if you understand the technology,
stealing cars is actually easier. In other words, criminals can
use their knowledge of technology to commit crimes.
Surveillance cameras help to reduce crime, even if they
aren’t recording. What I mean by that is: people don’t
commit crimes if there are cameras about. However,
criminals can always find somewhere without cameras.7D Grammar
