CaaS - Crime as a Service

Luke Taylor • January 27, 2026

Air Tasker style Crime revolution impacting our vulnerable youth.


Vulnerable and disenfranchised young people are increasingly targeted by organised crime. In addition to that they are influenced to become Crime as a Service operators in the same way that the gig-economy thrives. 


Increasing numbers of our young are ready for radicalisation. Radicalisation is a term that has recently been linked to terrorist activities, but being a radical means taking a position that is against our social, political, legal norms. 


With news today that the NSW Police have discovered a ‘price list’ for hiring criminals to perform certain actions, it will be the start of an increasing wave of criminal activity. Europol has been fighting this ‘dark web’ activation for years, and it poses very real risks for our society.


I’m seeing the complete disconnect between risk and reward. There are significant numbers with such low aspiration and direction that they are ripe for the picking, Charles Dickens wrote about the manipulation of orphans for crime, and we have a large segment of youth who are social orphans. 


It was an opportunity to share my Policing and Teaching perspective on the Today Show this morning with Karl Stefanovic. To hear more, see the attached interview.
