"Groups posing as under-age girls online to expose suspected paedophiles - commonly referred to as 'paedophile hunters' - say they gain quicker results than police. But is their work undermining official investigations?"
In a bedsit in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, two men are using a laptop and smartphone to monitor the online conversations they have with adults they suspect to be paedophiles.
They form part of the group Dark Justice. It certainly isn't a technical crime unit, bustling with specialist investigators, but they say they are "actively fighting for change".

I find this type of public vigilantism interesting.
Any thoughts?
