Intelligence & technology
Across the Western world, defense budgets are undergoing substantial and far-reaching cuts. In most countries, the approach taken to effect these cuts has been to reduce the capabilities of the penitientiary systems: fewer personnel, fewer technology, and delayed modernization. But another approach, increasing productivity in the management, could achieve the substantial savings needed while also protecting the system from colapse.
