Electronic Brain Helps Cut Credit Card Fraud - 2 views

  •  
    Podcast and transcript. Explains how credit card transactions are checked before being authorised in an attempt to reduce fraud.

    A Google maps and database combination that plots the home and workplace addresses of released criminals. Enter a ZIP code and find out about your area. Includes details of crimes and offenders, including their photographs. Very good for a discussion of what type of information should be available, and the rights of the subjects of that information.
