The anticipated emergence of molecular manufacturing (MM) within decades requires new conceptualizations about crime and new strategies to address it. The seeds of possible solutions are planted in the United Kingdom where formal policing began.
Too often today, we look at crime incident by incident. In medicine this would be like studying each individual virus case separately to find a way to combat that one particular infection. Finding practical ways to prevent, contain, and minimize crime by studying it in aggregations—as research scientists study strains of viruses—with objective measures and creative solutions: this is what policing in the world of the future will demand.
The possible applications of nanotechnology to advanced weaponry are fertile ground for fantasy. It is obvious that three-dimensional assembly of nanostructures in bulk can yield much better versions of most conventional (nonnuclear) weapons; e.g., guns can be lighter, carry more ammunition, fire self-guided bullets, incorporate multispectral gunsights or even fire themselves when an enemy is detected. Science fiction writers can and do have a lot of fun imagining such things.
