WORKING  THEME:   REAL CRIMES IN  VIRTUAL WORLDS

Real Crimes In Virtual Worlds is the Theme of this years 1 ½ day Summit.

The National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C) is a national and international leader in the prevention, investigation and prosecution of economic and high tech crime. For the past 12 years we have offered educational seminars and conferences around the country that draw audiences from local, state, federal and international law enforcement, regulatory and prosecution agencies. Academic and business leaders also attend our conferences to learn more about the changing landscape of white collar crime.

The Theme of our 12th Annual Summit - Real Crimes in Virtual Worlds - focuses on the growing challenge faced by the law enforcement community to identify, track and prosecute today’s new breed of criminals who use the Internet and other emerging technologies as a resource for researching, planning and committing economic crime, cybercrime, and acts of terrorism.

Our theme will be carried through in three tracts: Cybercrime, Economic Crime, and Intelligence Analysis. Each track will consist of six 90-minute sessions. Sample topics for these tracts include but are not limited to:

CYBERCRIME:

• Social Networking - how criminals & gangs are using the internet & social sites to commit crimes
• The challenges to law enforcement for gathering & utilizing Digital Evidence
