The final part of the undercover sting; again goes off without a hitch, with a number of arrests including a retired teacher/professor. An organisation called Perverted Justice has also played a major role in this operation by luring in the would-be sex offenders, setting up profiles posing as young girls and actively taking part in the online chats that sometimes last up to a couple of months before the predator finally comes to meet.

Yet another day at the sting operation in Kentucky and more arrests, one guy made the silly mistake of attempting to escape and got tasered. Whether these guys have been arrested before for similar offences remains to be said but a 39 year old man coming to ‘hang out’ with a girl claiming to be 12 years old and home alone obviously has some deep seeded psychological problems.

Whether they are labourers, teachers or anything in between it seems there are plenty of takers when it comes to chatting young girls in an attempt to get them into bed. Some men seem to be driving up to and including 5 hours in the hope of meeting (and having sex with) underage girls. The one thing that seems standard across the board with all these guys: they regret it once they are caught.

Local and federal law enforcement agencies have been working together recently on sting operations in Kentucky in an attempt to catch online sexual predators playing their games. Dateline (USA, NBC) has been able to participate in some of these operations, and have interviewed some of the men being caught out. With seven cameras outside the house and five more inside these guys don’t have a chance of denying what they are trying to do.

Ivan ‘The Backpacker Murderer’ Milat

For those of you that don’t know, Ivan Milat was one of Australia’s most prolific and evil serial killers. He still to this day maintains his innocence, and there are a number of theories out there that actually suggest he was not the only killer involved in the slayings (a number of theories suggest that other members of his family were involved but none have been proven).

For your viewing pleasure we have a streaming copy of Crime Investigation Australia’s documentary on the subject. If you would like to purchase the box set of episodes (6 DVD’s in total) i suggest you head to Crime & Investigation Channel’s website and buy it. It’s nice and cheap for a 6 DVD set too and covers approximately 15 major crimes (in the first season). You’ll have to go to the CIA link on the menu system and from there you can purchase it but trust me, it’s worth it.

Police Brutality? Police Brutalised…

Ewan Williams — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 03:46:00 +0000

This is one of our old archived articles from our old site but still very interesting nonetheless… 2007 was a year full of brutality across the world, with plenty of despicable and abhorrent events taking place. Not even those who prevent and protect our societies around the world were to be left immune from the violence, with a sharp increase in the number of police officers being killed in the United States. As of December 30, 2007, 181 officers had been killed in the line of duty with Texas being the most dangerous state for law enforcement registering 22 deaths. There were also a large number of law enforcement officers killed in traffic accidents, and a handful of incidents where more than one officer was killed at the same time, usually by the same assailent.

Over the coming months we hope to examine some of these incidents in finer detail in an attempt to work out what occurred and how we can prevent these tragedies from happening in the first place. A number of hi-tech measures have already been and continue to be tested, including handguns that will only fire when the registered ‘hand’ is pulling the trigger.

Into The Mind

Ewan Williams — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 03:36:29 +0000

Looking into the mind of a career criminal, we find an inmate in a Kentucky prison named Alex. Presented in this video is a bit of information about him, and how life on the inside can change a person significantly. Not knowing anything about Alex apart from the crimes he has been imprisoned for, is it possible that there was ever a chance for his rehabilitation?

You be the judge… Over the coming months though we hope to examine more about life inside of prison and come to some scientifically based conclusions about the jail and justice systems. We are also hoping to examine the positive and negative effects of life on the inside in an attempt to identify changes that should be made in regards to inmate treatment and rehabilitation.
