Talk:Crime Stoppers

Globalization
Crimestoppers operates in several countries, but the opening section appears very specific the UK, referencing the British website and access phone number. Latter sections mention Canada. I've put the globalize tag on for this to be sorted   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.177.124.44 (talk) 12:21, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

NPOV
How do you make a police assistance program NPOV? As its a voluntary program its up to the individual to participate, in it? --Tomtom 19:25, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * I attempted to clean up the article and npov it. --Numerousfalx 20:15, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Seems pretty NPOV to me, I searched and found nothing about abuses of the Crimestoppers program--Numerousfalx 29 June 2005 15:53 (UTC)

Student support
There's no article about related student crime stopper programs within schools. The way they're set up from what I know, they are abused. There have been cases of students setting up other students and reporting them in order to get rewards... I'm going to do a research project on it, so I'll see what I can find about it. If anyone else wants to look into this it would be a good idea. -- Guest 22 Feb 2007 23:02 (EST)

Cuba
The entry relating to "Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (Cuba)" seems a bit off-topic, as the article linked to is clearly a government initiative to spy on residents for potentially opressive reasons, nothing like "Crimestoppers". LyallDNZ 12:52, 23 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Actually, if we're not taking one side or the other in Cuba Vs West, they both sound like very similar initiatives. In the west, Terrorism is considered a crime, and Terrorism can simply be owning the wrong kind of literature. A state that prohibits certain kinds of books could be called oppressive. I mean, I believe in the reasons behind anti-terror legislation, but I'm still going to call a spade what it is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.205.24.53 (talk) 14:06, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Orwellian
Removed section about Orwell's term "crimestop", as that word as used in Nineteen Eighty-Four clearly isn't even vaguely related to what Crimestoppers does. I hope this wasn't stealth POV pushing. Erifnam (talk) 05:25, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Crime Stoppers USA vs Crime Stoppers International
After doing some research today, I discovered the correct style of the organization's name and that this article cited statistics of the American (CSUSA) program. I felt the information about countries which do not have entries of their own should be included in the article for the international group instead of here. - Krakatoa  Katie  01:26, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
