Young girls are being manipulated by online youth gangs into violent acts via gamified platforms, prompting Australian police to launch a taskforce.
澳大利亚新任联邦警务专员克里西·巴雷特(Krissy Barrett)指出, 网路上的年轻男子团伙正在逼迫年轻女孩在罗布洛克斯(Roblox)和Telegram(Telegram)等平台上玩弄手法, 实施极端的暴力行为。
Young girls are being coerced by online gangs of young men into extreme violent acts through manipulative, gamified tactics on platforms like Roblox and Telegram, according to Krissy Barrett, Australia’s new federal police commissioner.
她揭露了三起国内逮捕事件,并查明了59名被怀疑是分散网络的成员,在这些网络中,犯罪人通过分享越来越令人不安的内容而获得地位,犯罪蔓延到现实世界。
She revealed three domestic arrests and identified 59 suspected members of decentralized networks where perpetrators gain status by sharing increasingly disturbing content, with crimes spilling into the real world.
受害者往往是脆弱的青年,其自尊心低落、心理健康斗争或自残史。
Victims are often vulnerable youth with low self-esteem, mental health struggles, or histories of self-harm.
一个新的工作组将针对这些网络和所谓的“犯罪影响者”。巴雷特是第一位领导法新社的女性,在最近的薪酬纠纷罢工后,她强调了员工的福祉,并将 25 年的执法生涯(包括维和和重大调查)带到了她的职责中。
A new taskforce will target these networks and so-called “crime-influencers.” Barrett, the first woman to lead the AFP, emphasized workforce well-being after a recent pay dispute strike and brought a 25-year law enforcement career, including peacekeeping and major investigations, to her role.
