Why posting to your community social media page is not helping to solve crime
Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here Countless reports of crime are being posted to community Facebook pages every day where they rarely ever get seen by investigators, according to Crime Stoppers Queensland. A new campaign for Crime Stoppers Day is urging people to report their CCTV footage, eye-witness accounts and rumours of suspicious activity directly to authorities instead of posting on social media. "This year's campaign focuses on busting the myth that social media is the best place to raise concerns about crime and suspicious activity," Crime Stoppers Queensland chief executive David Hansen said. Crime Stoppers Queensland is urging people to report their CCTV footage, eye-witness accounts and rumours of suspicious activity to authorities instead of posting to social media. (Crime Stoppers Queensland) "Social media might alert your neighbours, but it does little to help police track down offenders, prevent crime or keep communities safe." Unconfirmed or inaccurate information can also be problematic. "Unverified posts can fuel fear, spread misinformation, and even lead to vigilante behaviour or the public shaming of innocent people," Hansen said. Hansen said if it was important enough to post on social media, it was important enough to report through the proper channels. "We're asking everyday Queenslanders to move from online commentary to real-world impact," Hansen said. "Whether it's a gut feeling, something you saw or something you heard - don't just talk about it online. "Take that extra step and report it to Crime Stoppers." In an emergency or if a crime is happening now, call triple zero. If you need police assistance, but it's not an emergency, you can contact Policelink on 131 444. Anyone with information about non-urgent crime or suspicious activity can contact Crime Stoppers Queensland anonymously at 1800 333 000 or visit . Reports to Crime Stoppers can be made anonymously and you will not be made to give a police statement or attend court. crime national social media queensland CONTACT US

Crime Stoppers warn of risk of vigilante reaction, other concerns on crimes posted to social media
Social media is littered with posts about crime. Facebook even has dedicated community-led groups for sharing information to warn others about local criminals. Perhaps you've joined one. But Australians are being urged to not only post about crime on social media, but to report it to authorities. Crime Stoppers Tasmania chair David Daniels said posting to social media provided a false sense of action. "Now that we're always online with our phones, it's easy to turn to social media to express our concern or warn others," Mr Daniels said. "But typing isn't telling, and if that information never reaches police, they cannot act. "So, while the social media may feel immediate and impactful, it does very little to help police track down the offenders or prevent crime or keep communities safe," he said. "The real action means sharing the information appropriately [to Crime Stoppers or local police]." Crime Stoppers is a not-for-profit registered charity, separate to police, that relies on donations to operate. It is based on a model that started in New Mexico in the United States in the 1970s when a detective ran out of all leads on a brutal murder case. The detective reportedly arranged for a local television station to show a re-enactment of the murder and invited viewers to call in with information anonymously and offered a cash reward if it led to an arrest. It started an anonymous 'tips line' that became Crime Stoppers and spread around the world. Often, alleged offenders are outed by the community "naming and shaming" them, but if that information is not passed on to authorities through official channels, police are usually unable to investigate. "We've had a man seen stealing tools from the rear of a work ute. Other people all post into a group who he is and where he can be found," Tasmania Police Commander Jo Stolp said. Recently, Tasmania Police have also seen social media posts about drug dealing near a park. "You've got people on camera from someone's CCTV coming and going, but without a report either to Crime Stoppers or to police, we can't follow that up," Commander Stolp said. There has also been unreported CCTV footage posted to social media showing a person stealing mail from someone's home, and someone claiming to have a picture of the suspect's face. "While it's good for people to know there is activity in their area, we like to be sure that it's actual activity, and that somebody is not necessarily being targeted unnecessarily," she said. Posting information about a crime to social media also carried its own risks, police said. Along with the possibility of spreading misinformation, posts could also incite vigilante responses. There was a chance the information or footage being shared was not really a crime at all, or could lead to the wrong person being identified as the culprit. Defamation lawyer Rowan Lyndon can attest to the impact of vigilante responses. Mr Lyndon said he was aware of at least one reported case, "where a person who was falsely identified online as a paedophile was physically assaulted". There was also the risk of legal action against people who make accusations online that turn out to be false or defamatory, he said. These can range from paying damages — sometimes amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars — to covering part of the claimant's legal costs, and even imprisonment. The 2024 Bondi Junction stabbings is one of the most recent cases to make national headlines. Within hours of the attack occurring, Benjamin Cohen was falsely named on social media as the assailant who killed six people at the shopping centre. Photos of Mr Cohen were taken from his social media accounts and circulated by other users along with his name. The unconfirmed reports were then broadcast by a media outlet. But while the information turned out to be false, by then the damage had been done. Mr Cohen later sued the broadcaster for defamation and received an out-of-court settlement. He also called on the NSW Police to prosecute the social media users who incorrectly identified him. Mr Daniels said in all of these cases, the "intent might be right, but the outcome isn't". To bring greater attention to this issue, Crime Stoppers has launched a nationwide campaign, Don't Just Post It, Report It! The campaign is urging people around Australia who see, hear or suspect criminal or suspicious behaviour to stop leaving vital information in group chats or social media threads, and start reporting it where it truly counts. People have the option of making an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers, directly contacting their local police station, or in an emergency, calling triple-0. "Crime Stoppers gives people a safe and anonymous way to speak up," Mr Daniels said. "You don't have to give your name or make any formal statement or even go to court. All we ask is that you share what you know, so it can be properly assessed and potentially linked to other reports and acted on by police.

Fears emerge on Liberal religious right that cult inquiry unfairly targets Pentecostal churches
The committee said recruitment tactics included using social events to build rapport (like potluck dinners or youth groups); isolating recruits from 'negative' outsiders; promising secret or higher knowledge; asking recruits to commit in small ways, then escalating; using charismatic leaders; creating insider language and symbols; and targeting vulnerable people. Heath's employee said some examples misrepresented church activities as 'deceptive or sinister' while sports clubs and political parties were ignored. He claimed, in a 'church guidance note' attached to the email, that anonymous submissions 'fuelled by media-driven stereotypes and Facebook groups … could be used to justify new laws that potentially criminalise and censor pastors, leaders and churches and expose them to vexatious legal actions. 'Despite high levels of coercion and control displayed in unions, activist groups, political parties and sport, the Victorian government is targeting religion.' Heath said her office had been contacted by constituents concerned about the inquiry and that she had asked her employee to get in touch with key stakeholders. But she said she had no knowledge of this specific correspondence or the email's content, which was sent from the employee's private email but claimed to be on her behalf. She said her employee had sent the email in good faith, expressing his own opinions about the Geelong Revival Centre. Loading 'My staff member now acknowledges this was based on insufficient information and was a mistake. The allegations against this organisation are serious, and I expect more information will come to light during this inquiry.' Heath is from the Pentecostal church, City Builders, in Gippsland, where her parents are pastors. In 2022, the church rejected allegations it sought to engage improperly in politics or supported gay-conversion therapy. The employee's email ultimately reached devastated survivors who say they faced coercive practices within religious groups and who have found hope in the inquiry. Ryan Carey, from Geelong Revival Centre Survivors and Stop Religious Coercion Australia, said the committee had shown good faith by focusing on behaviours rather than any beliefs. He wants freedom of belief, association and religion. 'We also want it to be safe and free of abuse, exploitation, and harm,' he said. 'Healthy churches shouldn't require survivor groups upon exit. Ours does. 'Survivors are used to having people in power try to silence them and invalidate their stories. This is spit in the face of survivors, and frankly, I think they deserve an apology.' Renee Spencer, from Survivors of Coercive Cults and High-Control Groups, said she was not surprised by Heath's employee's apparent attempt to indirectly influence the inquiry but it was damaging nonetheless. 'Survivors who took the time to dredge up their deepest pain for this inquiry have already retraumatised themselves in the hope of meaningful change and harm prevention. Thankfully, for the most part, we have found people to be empathetic and measured,' Spencer said. Christian legal think tank Freedom for Faith shared concerns religious freedoms could be infringed, in a submission co-signed by Australian Christian Churches, the Baptist Union of Victoria, the Anglican Diocese of Melbourne, the Seventh Day Adventist Church of Australia and the Presbyterian Church of Victoria. They were encouraged by the committee's insistence it was not looking to judge faith, and acknowledged coercive control did exist in some religious contexts. But they worried the definition of cult could be expanded 'under anti-religious pressure … to include faiths that involve whole-of-life commitment, and faiths that teach unpopular beliefs (especially concerning sexuality, gender and marriage)'. The Australian Christian Lobby urged against introducing any new legislation, to avoid inadvertently stepping on the right to freedom of expression, religion and association, and agreed there was a risk of mainstream church practices being misinterpreted as 'cult-like'. Loading The bipartisan committee is chaired by Labor MP Ella George, who said Victorians could practise their faith freely without fear. 'There is no truth to any claim that the committee's inquiry is about sanctioning religious practices. The religious beliefs of Victorians are irrelevant to the inquiry's terms of reference,' George said. 'The emphasis is on how these groups operate, not what they believe.' Patrick McIvor left City Builders in 2016 and was the lead author of a submission to the inquiry called 'Beyond Belief', which was endorsed by Survivors of Coercive Cults and High-Control Groups, Stop Religious Control Australia and Victorian Cult Survivors Network. He said the inquiry appeared to have a genuine interest in getting things right. 'I understand the nerves of some groups, particularly some religious groups. And we agree, it shouldn't be about religious groups. Any solution should absolutely uphold freedom of belief, freedom of association, and that's why we've kept the focus [of our submission] squarely on harmful behaviours and not vilifying people.'
