ABSTRACT
Information technology solutions have created new opportunities for internet-based business networking in the era of rapidly developing technologies, including e-banking. These solutions seek to save expenses, make complicated financial transactions easier, and offer quicker, more effective ways. The aim of this research is to offer a comprehensive comprehension of the relationship between criminal law and technology. It attempts to solve the problems brought about by the pervasive use of the internet and its applications in the modern world. We examine how technology and the criminal justice system interact in this study. Our investigation covers the uses, advantages, difficulties, and moral issues related to technological integration. We examine the ways that facial recognition, risk assessment algorithms, and predictive policing are changing criminal justice, law enforcement, and prisons. We also stress the importance of accountability, justice, and openness when implementing technology in the criminal justice system. The growing trend of people depending on technology to handle their workloads makes it imperative to identify workable solutions. Modern banking, reservations for trains, and airline transactions all depend on state-of-the-art technology. The modern generation is largely dependent on technology since computers enable efficient procedures and streamlined operations. While the spread of IT facilities has many benefits, there are drawbacks as well. Among these difficulties, cybercrime stands out as a unique mobile and computer security offense. India's criminal law and technology confluence has experienced significant changes, mainly because of continuous digital transformation and technical breakthroughs.
