Investigative Forensic ToolKit Usage and Determinants of Adoption Behavior among Police Personnel
Main Article Content
Abstract
Technology has become integral to personal and professional spheres in the last two decades. There has been an unprecedented and rapid innovation in technology artifacts and their use for development and empowerment. Similarly, technology has been a part of governance for a long time. The basic objective of this paper is to understand the technology adoption behavior of police personnel in Rajasthan, India, and to identify factors that determine the technology adoption behavior of police personnel. The study's goals are not only to advance theory on the relationship between technology and policing but also a) to understand the technology adoption behavior of police personnel in Rajasthan, India, and b) to identify factors that determine the technology adoption behavior of the police personnel. In pursuit of the above goals, the focus was mainly on technologies significant for policing. For this study, the Forensic Toolkit has been taken as the technology artifact. The quantitative method has been used in the study for data collection. Descriptive and Inferential statistics have been used in the paper for analysis.
