Using computers to recognise faces in crowds is one of the new ways of
fighting crime that will be discussed at an international conference
in Adelaide today.

The forensics conference will bring together more than 60 cyber crime
experts from around the world.

The conference's chairman, Matthew Sorrell, from Adelaide University
says changes in technology means the range of techniques used to fight
crime is expanding all the time.

Mr Sorrell says internet-based worlds such as 'Second Life'  and chat
groups ,can be meeting grounds for criminals, or can become crime
scenes themselves.

He says it is important to find ways to gather, preserve and present
evidence from such worlds.

"We also have Dr Richard Leary from the United Kingdom talking about
cutting-edge technology for tracking down data that will help a
criminal investigation in the internet, so in particular tracking down
information that doesn't last very long, it's not stored anywhere," he
said.
