Although technology has become a major source of expenditure and innovation in law enforcement and is assumed to hold great potential for enhancing police work, the current state of research on technology in policing is unclear about the links between technologies and outcomes such as work efficiencies, effectiveness in crime control, or improved police-community relationships.

These frames may limit technology's potential in the current reform era and cause unintended consequences. (Publisher abstract modified)
