    New system unveiled to track down Internet pedophiles...

    From BBC:

    A computer database which can identify paedophiles and their victims within seconds has been unveiled by police.

    The Childbase system uses sophisticated software to compare the faces of people in new abusive images with those in pictures already investigated.

          Sounds like a great leap forward. I can't imagine how it must be for the (human) investigators who have to view the images, and remember the faces.

              Until now officers investigating pictures taken from suspects' computers have faced the slow and often traumatic process of looking through thousands of images to see if there is a link.
              That should be in the top 10 worst jobs list.

                          well, they are child porn pics they are scanning in, I could care less about big brother in the case.

                          I saw this on the news too and think it is great. If only there was a way for us to help them with the use of it.

                              Become a member of ASACP.ORG and put a button to them on your site. All confirmed CP is sent directly to the FBI, with whom ASACP has an excellent relationship. It's quite likely the FBI and the British Home Office are communicating.

                                  ASACP membership is growing by leaps and bounds. Also, they just hired a new CTO - http://asacp.org/press/press0703d.html and will be announcing new software in a few months.

                                  ASACP's Executive Director, Joan Irvine, is speaking at a conference in Luxembourg in Sept., put on by INHOPE.org , and will be communicating with international hotlines and government agencies.
