but this time its virtual and terrorising.
But Mr Burgess was emphatic that the problem was an especially pressing one for policymakers focused on education and child safety, pointing out that "all" of the nation's most recent terror cases "were allegedly perpetrated by young people", including one as young as 14.
"The internet was a factor in every single one of these incidents, albeit to different degrees and in different ways," he said.
Mr Burgess said that, during a COVID peak, teenagers "represented around 50 per cent" of ASIO's counter-terrorism caseload — a figure that declined before a more recent "disturbing resurgence".
abc loin.
maybe I was wrong about northern Aus youth crime being developmental, parental neglect and over-policing. there might be a viable explanation in what Burgess describes. were these kids inspired by what they find on the net?
not just SM like farcebook and twitx but through links to sites well away from SM that promote violent rages and criminal actions. hoon sites, drunken orgy sites, car meeting sites.... you know the drift. every kid wants to have a muscle car. (mine was a 1947 Harley - not muscle but ***king awesome). now they see how the worst people behave and copy them.
Burgess gives much more the report linked.
