One of the major tasks of the South African (S.A.) government is to reduce crime levels on a year-to-year basis. The use of information and communications technologies (ICTs) is capital in facilitating the process to finding solutions to crime. This paper is about taking advantage of a particular subset of ICTs that is referred to as the internet of things (IoT) and is integrated with biometric technologies in the fight against crime. The paper identifies not only the sectors of the economy that fall under community safety and crime prevention such as police efficiency and accountability, and partnerships between the police and communities, but also a number of IoT including biometric applications that can be of value in these sectors. By drawing on the characteristics of identified IoT including biometric applications, the research came up with the architecture of an integrated biometric IoT system for tracking parolees who have violated their bail conditions, as a case study for the S.A. environment. Parolees are tagged with tracking devices which are GPS-enabled for location of the parolee at any point in time. |
