If I understand the concerns here correctly, all the equivalent media and police focus in the United States amounts to Media-Vigilantism -or- Police-Vigilantism? OH YES, lets not forget the continuing political fear-mongering!
7-12-2009 United Kingdom:
A police force has been accused of encouraging vigilantes after launching a "spot the paedophile" radio campaign.
The 40-second ad has been developed by Cambridgeshire police and is being played on Heart FM.
It is part of "Disclosure", a Home Office child protection scheme aiming to encourage people to check if adults living nearby are sex offenders.
In it a woman's voice can be heard saying: "There's something not quite right about my sister's new partner."
Sally Ireland of human rights group Justice said: "People have to be vigilant to protect children but sex offenders also need to be rehabilitated once they are released from prison." ..Source.. by Mirror.co.uk
