Automating CSAM Investigation: Research to Practice Cybercrimeology

How can we leverage new technologies and research to assist the investigators combating the production of child sexual abuse material online. Dr. Russell Brewer from the University of Adelaide in Australia and Dr. Bryce Westlake from San Jose State University join us to talk about a project that puts research into practice and is providing a software tool that can leverage criminological approaches, forensic techniques and the latest computing technologies to assist law enforcement. We discuss what the tools do, how they can help and the challenges of taking academic findings into the real world.
