Throughout the course of the twentieth century notable advancements in science and technology has enabled researchers choose significantly improve their overall ability to conduct empirical research. Although the advancements have taken place have impacted almost every field of study, and a precursor he overview of the field of criminal justice suggests that there has been a paucity of development in this area for a number of decades. While this dearth of information may stem from a the inability of researchers to accurately apply technology, it seems more reasonable to argue that in the context of criminology and criminal justice the evolution of theory in these disciplines has not advanced substantially in more than four decades. Therefore, even though significant and notable improvements in science and technology have been acquired, research in the areas of criminology and criminal justice have not expanded notably in recent years.
