Rapists and paedophiles are using Facebook and Twitter to select their victims, according to prosecutors.They are using the mass of personal information on social media to build up a detailed picture of their targets.The predators then befriend the vulnerable, often by pretending to share the same interests, said Alison Saunders, the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Rapists and paedophiles are using Facebook and Twitter to target new victims, picture posed by a modelIn the most shocking cases, the grooming ends with women and children being abused or lured to their death. Some men even pose as women to get close to their victims – a trick known as ‘catfishing’.Mrs Saunders said parents needed to keep a close eye on what their children were doing online.

‘People put up lots of details on Facebook and other social media which they can look at and use to target people because they will then know what their interests are,’ she said. ‘It helps with grooming because they have got a hook and a way to get into it.’Her officials said that in almost every category of sex crime ‘the common thrust is that, anecdotally, offending is being committed more and more over the internet’.
The stark warning was issued by Director of Public Prosecutions Alison Saunders, pictured
Mrs Saunders delivered her stark warning ahead of the release today of a report documenting the scale of violence against women and girls. The CPS said the number of violent and sexual attacks, including rape, rose 18 per cent last year. Overall, 107,104 such crimes were prosecuted in 2014, the most ever. The number convicted rose 17 per cent from 2013 to 78,773, also a record.
VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN: KEY NUMBERS
Source: The 2014-15 Violence Against Women And Girls Crime Report.There were 78,773 convictions for violence against women and girls in 2014-15. This is an increase of 16.9% on 2013-14, and a rise of 15.6% over the past five years. It is the second consecutive year in which convictions have risen, and the highest figure for the past five years.A total of 68,601 convictions for domestic abuse were recorded in 2014-15 - an increase of 17.7% on the previous 12 months. It represents a slightly smaller increase of 16.1% over the past five years.Rape convictions totalled 2,581 in 2014-15, a rise of 9.9%. This is an increase of 4.7% over the past five years.The proportion of unsuccessful rape convictions due to jury acquittals has risen year on year, from 60.3% in 2013-14 to 62.7% in 2014-15.
Child abuse convictions rose by almost a quarter - up 22.5% to 7,469.Convictions for human trafficking fell from 155 to 130, a drop of 16.1%, but a rise over five years of 78.1%. The highest regional conviction rate was for eastern England (80%) and the lowest was London (66%).
Child sexual abuse convictions rose by 19 per cent, to 3,975, while the rape case conviction rate fell from 36 per cent to 33 per cent. Officials pointed out that some of the accused were found guilty of other offences.Mrs Saunders highlighted how men are increasingly using social media to select, groom and physically assault their victims.A string of other crimes are also being committed using social media, including harassment, threatening messages and revenge porn. Last year, Peter Nunn, 33 and from Bristol, was jailed for bombarding Labour MP Stella Creasy with abusive messages on Twitter, retweeting threats that she would be sexually assaulted.Mrs Saunders said men were willing to approach any number of women or children online before they found somebody who would bite – or become ‘hooked’.Children are facing a particular threat from online gaming on machines such as PlayStations, the DPP said. Some consoles allow players to chat with one another, putting them at the mercy of paedophiles.The CPS is increasingly asking for restraining orders, such as banning offenders from posting messages on a victim’s Facebook page. Prosecutors have also been holding talks with Twitter to try to increase the number of prosecutions.Katie Russell, of Rape Crisis England and Wales, said: ‘The report highlights that we still have some distance to travel before all survivors of sexual violence and violence against women and girls receive the justice they want and deserve and that there is no room for complacency.’

Well, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to thumb rides, and not just to school. It’s awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride. But with Twitter, you just look for other people heading the same way.It may sound risky, so many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and don’t branch out beyond friends when asking on Twitter just like me, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.“I think the digital connection of young people is really key, because younger generations grew up sharing things on line, sharing files, photos, music, etc, so they’ve been very used to sharing,” said Juliet Schor, a sociology professor at Boston College.The sharing economy got big during the recession (经济衰退), allowing people to access more goods, services using technology and even to share costs. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom, like what my friend Earl says, “The symbol of freedom isn’t the car any more because there’s technology out there connecting you to a car.”According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver’s license compared to six in ten today. So it’s not that surprising that on my 16th birthday I wasn’t rushing to get a license but an iPhone.“Driving, for young people, does mean they have to disconnect from their technology, and that’s a negative. So if they could sit in the passage side and still be connected, that’s going to be a plus.” Schor continued.To me, another plus is that ridesharing represents something, something much bigger than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar.

Woo! Daddy and Mummy, Listen! Many of us are
using Twitter and Facebook to thumb rides, and not just to school. It’s awkward
to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride. But with Twitter, you
just look for other people heading the same way.
It may sound surprising and risky--so many teens
stay within their own social circles to find rides, and don’t branch out beyond
friends when asking on Twitter just like me, but to some young people,
especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.
“I think the digital connection of young people
is really key, because younger generations grew up sharing things on line,
sharing files, photos, music, etc, so they’ve been very used to sharing,” said
Juliet Schor, a sociology professor at Boston College.
The sharing economy got big during the economic
depression, allowing people to access more goods, services using technology and
even to share costs. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my
mom, a gateway to more freedom, like what my friend Earl says, “The symbol of
freedom isn’t the car any more because there’s technology out there connecting
you to a car.”
According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver’s
license compared to six in ten today. So it’s not that surprising that on my
16th birthday I wasn’t rushing to get a license but an iPhone.
“Driving, for young people, does mean they have
to disconnect from their technology, and that’s a negative. So if they could
sit in the passage side and still be connected, that’s going to be a plus.”
Schor continued..
To me, another plus is that ridesharing
represents something, something much bigger than trying to save money. I see it
as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their
cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the
system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version
of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter.

Well, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to thumb rides, and not just to school. It’s awkward to be refused when you call a friend and ask for a ride. But with Twitter, you just look for other people heading the same way.

马上分享给同学
据魔方格专家权威分析，试题“Well, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Fa..”主要考查你对&&日常生活类阅读&&等考点的理解。关于这些考点的“档案”如下：
现在没空？点击收藏，以后再看。
因为篇幅有限，只列出部分考点，详细请访问。
日常生活类阅读
日常生活类阅读的概念：
日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。 日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：
【题型说明】该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。 　　【备考提醒】为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点： 　　1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。 　　2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。 　　3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。 　　4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
