M. Tech. Business Information Systems / Vehicle crime rate is increasing in many countries, particularly, in the developing countries. This includes theft and physical damages. These crimes are of major concern to individuals and organizations (such insurance companies). The crime rate on vehicles has impact on the country's economy. A more accurate identification processes and methods can help prevent crime, fraud, essential resources and reliable for access control. In the world today, car theft seems to grow every day and one of the best possible solution is to put in place high and accurate authorization and authentication method. The study investigated how Fingerprint Biometric Technology could be deployed in Motor vehicles to enhance the security features. This include investigation on the factors which influence and impact technology adoption. Factors influencing the deployment of Fingerprint Biometric Technology were identified from the findings and a Framework was developed. The primary aim of the Framework is to guide the adoption and use of Fingerprint Biometric Technology for an improved and enhanced security systems in Motor vehicles.

Politicians and scholars often frame schooling as one of society’s most important crime preventive measures. The object of the study is to examine and problematize the hopes and ambitions that have evolved around what the study conceptualizes as the crime preventive educational task of public schooling and its historical trajectory as articulated in government publications. Drawing on governmentality theory, the study focuses on the liberal conception of the autonomous and self-regulating subject, and how the liberal mode of government works through the governing of freedom. The study identifies three discourses on crime preventive education: The emancipatory (1970s onwards), the deterrence (late 1980s onwards) and the safety/security discourse (21st century). The discursive shifts identified are further analysed in respect to how i) the explanation of crime, and the relationship between the deviant and the law-abiding subject, ii) control and iii) freedom and responsibility, are conceptualized over time. The conceptualization of criminal behaviour goes from being caused by social deprivation, becoming instead a calculated rational act. Subsequently, the deviant is altered from a person in need of reintegration to a deterrent example and a risk. The problematization of control has a trajectory from being a matter of social control and integration, ending instead as a matter of risk control and prudentialism. The conceptualization of the kind of freedom and responsibility the crime preventive education should foster is also reframed, from a strategy to counter a lack of democracy and influence, to a way of making prudent citizens. In this, the notion of a collective responsibility has been superseded by a belief in individual responsibility. The key problematization vindicating the process has gone from how to integrate youths into a society in constant flux, to how to restore control if lost and how to protect a pre-given social order.
