New monitoring technologies in the field of social crime control act like a double-edged sword, simultaneously bringing vast opportunities and threats. These technologies are considered essential tools for addressing contemporary security challenges by improving the efficiency of the criminal justice system, facilitating the detection of complex crimes, and optimizing the use of limited resources. On the other hand, unconditional reliance on them leads to unintended consequences, the most important of which are the violation of individual privacy, the reduction of social equality, and the transformation of monitoring tools into autonomous objectives. This research aims to present solutions to reduce these negative consequences, using a descriptive-analytical method and citing library resources, while examining the role of technology in crime control and the consequences of excessive use of monitoring technologies. Research findings indicate that monitoring technologies, although they increase security in the short term, in the long-term lead to the erosion of privacy, structural discrimination, and the weakening of moral principles. Therefore, by adopting measures such as balancing security and privacy, developing transparent laws to limit data collection, and increasing the awareness of criminal justice system activists about the limitations of technology, these consequences can be reduced to some extent and human dignity can be respected.
