Connecticut's Facebook for Bank Robbers

New Technology is being used by banks to help prosecute robbers. The Connecticut Bankers Association recently launched a Web site that enables Facebook-like profiling of bank criminals including surveillance photos whenever possible. It’s already generating some interesting results.
As of mid-November, the FBI reported 103 bank robberies in Connecticut this
year, compared to 60 at the same time last year. The FBI says about
41 percent of robberies this year have been solved. Improved technology has
helped to get surveillance photos out to the public almost immediately, but more
could be done.

Great idea, but I am a bigger fan of this particular Internet crime-fighting technology, however.
