Economist : Because so many people, including criminals, are using cell phones, researchers are exploring a new field of forensic phonetics to try to identify people from their voices. At the 4th International Crime Science Conference held July 15 in London, current research concerning various features of the human voice, such as its fundamental frequency, was discussed. In future, forensic phonetics could play a key role in police work and courtrooms.
