Finally a peice that talks about how 5 of the 6 in the people killed in the sydney stabbings were women. And yes he was mentally ill but he felt entitled to a girlfriend.

By Victoria Smith 16 April, 2024

Did Joel Cauchi, the man who killed six people in a Sydney shopping centre, do so because he was mentally ill? Or did he do it because he hated women?

Five out of six of Cauchi’s victims were women, which does seem targeted. Nonetheless, according to his family, Cauchi, 40, “battled with mental health issues since he was a teenager”. For this reason, some have found talk of misogyny unseemly, if not exploitative. To categorise Cauchi’s act as male violence against women, if not terrorism underpinned by misogynist ideology, can be appear dismissive of genuine sickness. Sometimes, bad things just happen because people are unwell. 

For women who live with men who have severe mental health diagnoses, there is little comfort in discussions such as these. On the one hand, there is an enormous amount of pressure to downplay the idea that mentally ill men are more likely to be violent than other men (they are, but to say so is viewed as contributing to stigma). On the other hand, is it fair for a man with severe mental illness to be judged by the same moral standards as other men? Shouldn’t we be recognising that they cannot control their perceptions and fears?

See rest of article

The Sydney attacker was desperate for a girlfriend, his family has revealed as police confirmed that he had targeted women.

Joel Cauchi killed five women and one man during a knife attack on the Bondi Junction Westfield shopping centre on Saturday.

Karen Webb, the New South Wales police commissioner, said: “The videos speak for themselves. It’s obvious the offender had focused on women and avoided the men.”

The majority of the 12 people Cauchi seriously wounded were female, including a baby girl.

Andrew Cauchi, his father, said on Monday he knew why his mentally unwell son had targeted women. The 76-year-old told reporters outside his home in Queensland: “Because he wanted a girlfriend and he’s got no social skills and he was frustrated out of his brain.”

Describing his son as “very sick”, he described trying to deal with the feelings of “loving a monster”.

A “heroic” policewoman who stopped a lone knifeman mid-rampage during a killing spree in a Sydney shopping centre has been named.

In one of several heroic attempts to disarm the attacker on Saturday, Amy Scott, a NSW Police Inspector, walked up calmly behind the attacker and ordered him to drop his weapon.

When he refused to do so and lunged at her with a knife, she shot him.

Six people were killed after the culprit – later identified by police as Queensland man Joel Cauchi – went on a stabbing spree in Westfield Bondi Junction, including a mother whose baby is reportedly now in a critical condition.

“She is certainly a hero. There is no doubt that she saved lives through her action,” Anthony Albanese, the Australian prime minister, said on Saturday.

BONDI JUNCTION WESTFIELD ATTACK

Joel Cauchi

13 April 2024

Six people (5 women and 1 man) have been murdered in a mass killing in Bondi Junction Westfield on Saturday, when at 3pm, Queensland man Joel Cauchi walked into the shopping centre wearing a green and yellow sport jersey and then left. He returned 10 minutes later and then started stabbing and killing people, mainly targeting women. There are twelve people in hospital suffering serious injuries.

            Ashlee Good was stabbed to death by Cauchi, who also stabbed her 9-month year old baby daughter who had to get emergency surgery. Australian millionaire John Singleton’s daughter, Dawn, 25, was also a victim; and there were also two victims who from overseas.

            There were many heros yesterday, including a man from Russia who tried to prevent the attacker from killing more people by fighting him off with a bollard. There were men who ran after the perpetrator, one of the them carrying a chair. One man walking behind a woman with her children (possibly his partner and children) realised the danger they were in and turned around and attempted blocking the way to protect the three. Instead of running towards the man, Cauchi dodged him and ran into a different direction.

The NSW police officer, Amy Scott, who was the only police officer on site at the time who ran towards Cauchi and shot and killed him and saved more lives in doing so.

            The perpetrator was known to police and had mental health issues. It was said that he had no police record but there are rumours online that he had been previously arrested for DV and assault - however, this is all heresay.

            There was a woman, 36, who was stabbed on Bondi Beach on Friday, 12 April - the day before the Westfield stabbings. The perpetrator of that attack hasn’t been arrested and was still under investigation when the Westfield stabbing took place. Some believe that the Bondi Beach stabbing may have been linked to Cauchi or perhaps it was just a coincidence?

            Some commenters believe he was a drug addict, we don’t know if that is true or not. One man who knew him up in QLD told the media that Cauchi owned knives which he named his ‘everyday knives’. On his Facebook account he described himself as ‘single’. He was known to go to nudist beaches, strip clubs as well as listing himself on an escort website in Sydney in June last year.

            Criminal psychologist Dr Watson-Munro stated that Cauchi ‘knew what he was doing’ and that he was ‘bad not mad’ and ‘there’s clearly planning attached to this’. He stated, “But here was somebody who was on a mission, he knew what he wanted to do and he did it with deadly affect.”

            He came down from QLD to Sydney only a month ago, rented a small storage facility and went to Bondi to learn how to surf. He went surfing at Bondi 6-days ago. In 2010, he was an online English tutor. There is still a lot of information we don’t know as yet as the investigation continues.

Australian police investigate why women were targeted in Sydney stabbing attack

Australian police are examining why a lone assailant who stabbed six people to death in a busy Sydney shopping mall and injured more than a dozen others targeted women while avoiding men, a police commissioner said Monday. The killer’s father blamed his son’s frustration at not having a girlfriend.

Police shot and killed the homeless assailant, Joel Cauchi, during his knife attack in the Westfield Bondi Junction mall on Saturday near world-famous Bondi Beach.

JOEL CAUCHI

Queensland murderer Joel Cauchi, 40, killed five women and one man on Saturday, 13 April 2024. He pre-planned the killing and knew what he was doing. He was targeting women and was filmed dodging men. Before the day he killed his victims, he was working out what was the best shopping centre to target his victims in, he settled on Bondi Junction Westfield.

            We now know the six victims involved and there are still seriously injured victims in hospital.

            It is confirmed the reason why Joel Cauchi targeted women, his father said it was because he ‘wanted a girlfriend’ and was frustrated. Cauchi, was a single male, mentally ill and was known to go to nudist beaches, strip clubs, and listed himself on an escort website in Sydney. He was interested in weapons, knives and tried to join a gun group before the massacre. The police were aware of his mental illness and his interest in weapons.

            Cauchi was an entitled male who most probably believed that because he wanted a woman, HE should have a girlfriend. Because he didn’t have a girlfriend, he lashed out and killed women and harmed and killed any male (including a security guard) who got in his way. He even attempted to kill a 9-month-old baby girl, who is still in hospital in stable condition (one of the victims is the babys mother). This is a man that didn’t respect women as people.

            A woman, aged 36, was stabbed on Bondi Beach on Friday, 12 April, the day before the Westfield killings. The perpetrator of that attack hasn’t been arrested or identified. Was this incident linked to Cauchi? Or is it just a coincidence?

            Criminal psychologist Dr Watson-Munro stated that Cauchi ‘knew what he was doing’ and that “… here was somebody who was on a mission, he knew what he wanted to do and he did it with deadly affect.”

How Bondi mass killer slipped through the cracks in Australia Jade Young's mother said her daughter's death was the result of "cumulative failures" For many, Saturdays are something to look forward to - relaxed times, enjoyed with family and friends. But Elizabeth Young "dreads" them. It's a weekly reminder of her daughter Jade's violent murder at Westfield Bondi Junction. "On a lovely autumn afternoon, to learn your daughter is dead, stabbed in broad daylight, killed amidst fellow unsuspecting shoppers... [when she] was living, breathing, just an hour ago... it's the stuff of nightmares, of a parallel universe," Elizabeth told an inquiry into the mass killing this week. "The moment [the attacker] casually plunged that knife into Jade, our ordinary lives were shattered." Her pain was echoed by families of the other victims who gave emotional testimonies on the final day of a five-week coronial inquest into the fatal stabbings on 13 April last year. The inquiry sought to understand how a 40-year-old Queensland man with a long history of mental illness was able to walk into the popular Sydney shopping centre on a busy Saturday afternoon and kill six people, injuring 10 others including a nine-month-old baby. The court heard hours of evidence from dozens of witnesses - doctors, survivors, victims' families, police - in a bid to find out how, or if, Australia can prevent a such a tragedy happening again. "It seems to me that my daughter and five others were killed by the cumulative failures of numbers of people within a whole series of fallible systems," Elizabeth told New South Wales (NSW) Coroners Court. Shopping centre stabbings shock nation It was a mild, sparkling afternoon - the first day of school holidays – when Joel Cauchi walked into the sprawling shopping centre, just minutes from Australia's most famous beach. Just before 15:33 local time (GMT), Cauchi took a 30cm knife from his backpack and stabbed to death his first victim, 25-year-old Dawn Singleton. Westfields in Bondi Junction is one of nation's largest shopping centres Within three minutes, he had fatally attacked five others – Yixuan Cheng, 27; Jade Young, 47, Ashlee Good, 38; Faraz Tahir, 30; and Pikria Darchia, 55. Cauchi also injured 10 others including Good's infant daughter. At 15:38, five minutes after his rampage started, Cauchi was shot dead by police officer Amy Scott, who had been on duty nearby and arrived at the centre about a minute earlier. As news outlets reported on the killings, Cauchi's parents recognised their son on TV and called the police to alert them about his decades-long struggle with serious mental health problems. Jade Young's family was also confronted by images of her on TV, describing to the inquest the horror of seeing video which showed her "lifeless body being worked on". Similarly, Julie Singleton, whose daughter Dawn was killed while standing in a line at a bakery, heard her daughter named as a victim on the radio before her body had even been formally identified and other relatives informed. The scenes at Bondi sent shockwaves across the nation, where mass murder is rare, and prompted a rush of anger and fear from women in particular. All except two of the 16 victims were female, including five of the six people who died. Missed opportunities for intervention The killings triggered an outpouring of grief across Australia A key focus of the inquest was to scrutinise the multiple interactions Cauchi had with police and mental health professionals in the months and years leading up to the attacks. The inquest heard that Cauchi was once a bright young man with a promising life ahead of him. His family say he was a gifted student, and had attended a private school on scholarship before topping his class at university. At the age of 17, in 2001, Cauchi was diagnosed with schizophrenia and soon started taking medication for his condition. After a decade of managing it in the public health system, Cauchi started regular sessions with psychiatrist Dr Andrea Boro

[porcelain-dollbones]

@mazzy-v to add some context to what im saying-

while its true that most reporting mentioned his targeting of women, they largely did not place it in a broader context of violence against women. the police statement, which was widely repeated, ran as follows:

“We have received no evidence that we have recovered, no intelligence that we have gathered that would suggest that this was driven by any particular motivation, ideology or otherwise.”

“We know that the offender in the matter suffers from mental health … At this stage, it would appear that this is related to the mental health of the individual involved.”

to select a random article-

https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/bondi-stabbing-attack-everything-we-know-so-far/v9rbuprb6

the article repeats this claim uncritically, which is the pattern for all mainstream media outlet reporting that i personally have seen. the focus is very closely on his personal mental health issues while accepting the police line that there was no particular ideology or motivation.

my point with this post is that misogyny is an ideology. Femicide does not exist in a vacuum, and neither does the entitlement and rage against women for rejection apparently expressed by the perpetrator. These are products both of societal attitudes at large and specific, increasingly influental ideologies of misogyny (it is not clear if he was directly influenced by such movements, though i think it is very likely).

“Actual legit news sources” didn’t engage heavily in the speculation that the perpetrator was muslim/palestinian, but the mainstream media consists of many sources- such as tv presenters like Rachel Riley.

She was far from alone.

This is a case where the intersections of racism, misogyny and prejudice against the mentally ill can be seen in action, with the media helping to craft a narrative that demonises mental illness while dismissing violent misogyny as an individual rather than societal phenomenon.

i don't know if this is being talked about outside of australia, but recently there was a mass stabbing event in my city. six people are dead and eight more badly injured.

the media coverage and public conversation around the stabbing has been really awful. it started with frenzied theorising- without any evidence- that the perpetrator was a muslim extremist, a palestinian hamas agent, including spreading false information about the victims to create a narrative of islamic violence. when it resulted that the perpetrator was a white man from queensland, the coverage instantly shifted- instead of a terror attack, it was now a lone wolf, a non-ideological result of an individual's mental health issues. this is typical of the framing when it comes to perpetrators: a white person is an individual, a brown person is a faceless member of an ideology. but, crucially, the attack was not non-ideological. the perpetrator specifically targeted women, specifically avoiding men except where they were preventing him from getting to women. six out of seven of the deceased victims were women, and in interviews with the perpetrators parents, they talked about his anger at not having a girlfriend. misogyny is ideological, and men are trained to harbour deep resentment towards women that regularly manifests in violence. this event was a targeted act of femicide. while it is unclear if the perpetrator was involved in any specific right-wing groups, that the attack was driven by hatred of women is not in doubt.

the new narrative is one of demonising mental illness, because the perpetrator was diagnosed with schizophrenia and there is no avenue to blame his race. there are now open calls in the media for stricter use of sectioning and more oppressive tracking, forced medication and indefinite institutionalisation of the mentally ill. it is the mentally ill who will suffer from this narrative, while the fostering of violent misogyny goes unchecked. this country never stops letting us down

Another big obstacle is setting up the right infrastructure. To be ready for AI, as 75% of AI users say is crucial, takes a lot of work. It often means spending a lot on tech and special tools. The Microsoft Azure Well-Architected Framework helps make AI work well and safely.

There’s also the problem of cyber threats to public safety. For example, attacks on GPS systems have gone up by 400%. Using safe ways to put AI in place is key. Microsoft’s Azure AI Content Safety is vital for keeping AI applications safe, making our communities more secure.

Finally, we can’t ignore the need for strong technology use. Tools like Microsoft Purview and Azure Information Protection are crucial in solving these problems. Keeping AI systems for public safety running well requires constant check-ups and updates. Using Azure Monitor and Microsoft Defender for Cloud helps with this.

Case Studies: AI in Action for Public Safety

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made great strides in public safety. It has been pivotal in making emergency services, crime prediction, and prevention more efficient. For example, predictive policing uses large datasets to foresee crimes. This allows police to use their resources better and more effectively.

The Los Angeles Police Department saw big benefits from using AI. They incorporated it into their analytics, which reduced property crime by 20%. This shows how AI can greatly improve safety. These examples highlight AI’s power to change how we prevent and respond to crime.

In San Diego, AI has made emergency responses quicker and more coordinated. It looks at vast data in real-time to spot trends and predict needs. This ensures help goes where it’s needed most, greatly improving efficiency.

Cities like London are using AI to make their CCTV systems smarter. These enhanced systems can spot suspicious behavior and quickly alert the authorities. This helps stop potential issues before they grow, adding another layer of safety.

AI isn’t just fighting crime; it’s also tackling disasters. It’s being used to predict events like floods and wildfires. In the US, AI helps detect earthquakes earlier, giving people more time to get to safety. This could save many lives.

These case studies show that AI is more than new tech; it’s a key part of keeping us safe. It’s tackling some of the biggest challenges in emergency services, crime prevention, and disaster management. AI is proving to be crucial in making communities safer.

The Future of AI and Public Safety

The future of AI in public safety looks very bright as we dive deeper into technology. Technologies like self-driving systems and AI-powered surveillance will change how we keep people safe. They will make it easier and more efficient to protect communities.

In the USA, open-weight AI models are now widely available to developers. Despite the risks they bring, like spreading false info and creating fake videos, they also offer great benefits for public safety. These models help develop advanced apps for better surveillance and safety.

But, these technologies have mixed effects. They can improve public safety but also be misused to increase bias in policing and finance, for example. Governments are using AI for powerful weapons and cyber attacks. We need to handle these risks to fully benefit from these new techs in keeping people safe.

The NTIA in the U.S. suggests keeping AI development open until we see a need for rules. They recommend a system to check the pros and cons of open-weight AI models. This plan offers a balance, different from Europe’s strict AI regulations.

The Biden administration requires that AI creators, if their work might threaten national security or health, must inform the government and share safety tests. This ensures that new tech developments are in line with keeping the public safe, without risking national security.

AI and public safety coming together has huge promise. As technology grows, a careful but forward-thinking policy and regulation approach is key. This way, we can make our society safer and more secure with AI innovations.

AI in Public Safety: Ethical and Privacy Considerations

Deploying AI in public safety requires finding a balance. It’s about using tech advancements while protecting individual privacy rights. The rise of AI makes ethical considerations crucial. Valley Capital Partners focuses on investing in AI-driven businesses responsibly. Since 2018, they have been carefully choosing startups to invest in, promoting responsible tech development.

Yubico stands out as a success story in Valley Capital’s portfolio, known for its security solutions. Yet, the spread of AI in public safety brings up ethical and privacy concerns. Tamika Blake from Family Promise of Beaufort County stresses the importance of consent and data protection. Her views were supported in the Winning Wednesday segment on WSAV, stressing the need for strong AI management frameworks.

Valley Capital invests in a select few companies, focusing on ethical AI deployment. This strategy encourages innovation while highlighting the importance of AI ethics in public safety. As AI shapes public safety services worldwide, ensuring bias-free applications and protecting privacy is crucial.

How Other Countries are Integrating AI for Public Safety

Countries around the world are using AI to make public safety better. They are adding new tech to keep up with the fast changes in technology. This gives important lessons on different ways to use AI and improve safety.

In Japan, AI helps watch over cities and keep them safe. They use smart cameras and data to stop crimes before they happen. This has made the crime rate go down in big cities.

In the European Union, countries like Germany use AI to deal with disasters. They use algorithms to predict and handle things like floods and earthquakes. This quick action saves lives and homes.

Australia has used AI to fight public health crises. They track diseases and stop them from spreading with the help of AI. This has made it easier to control pandemics and keep people safe.

South Korea has improved public transport with AI. AI systems keep an eye on buses and trains to prevent accidents. This makes travel safer and more efficient for everyone.

These examples from around the world show many ways AI can make us safer. By looking at these, the UK can figure out the best ways to use AI. This will help keep its people safe in many different situations.

Government Support and Funding for AI in Public Safety

The UK government recognises how crucial public safety is. So, it’s boosting the growth and use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology. This move aims to upgrade our nation’s security systems through better AI capabilities.

Over the past few years, the UK has ramped up its support for AI in safety. It’s giving more money and setting up policies that help AI innovation flourish. This is to make sure AI can do its best in keeping us safe.

The FutureTech Act shows the government’s strong commitment. It sets aside $1.23 billion to update our tech systems. This big amount of money will help make sure AI tools can be used well in protecting everyone in the country.

Some funds are for specific projects too, like the $30 million for improving internet access. Better internet is crucial for AI in public safety. Also, $25 million is going to help state and local governments upgrade their tech. This shows the government’s focus on using AI to make us safer.

There’s also a lot of support for health. For instance, $30 million will help make health records digital. This is so AI can help provide quicker and better health responses in emergencies.

Funds are also there for AI projects managed by technology offices and an AI Task Force. This shows the government is serious about using AI to protect us.

Thanks to these investments and policies, the UK is leading in AI for public safety. The goal is to use the funding smartly. This way, we can look forward to not only being safer but also having a strong system ready for any future problems.

Real-Life Impacts of AI on Public Safety in the UK

AI has greatly improved public safety in the UK. For example, the NHS Dumfries and Galloway used AI to handle data after a cyber-attack. Despite a recent attack stealing 3TB of data, AI prevented misuse of this information. This shows how AI plays a vital role in protecting sensitive data.

Police Scotland also benefits from AI, receiving 40 to 50 cyber-attack reports yearly. AI helps analyse these incidents, helping police spot trends and stop crimes more effectively. AI’s support in fighting crime is evident in better surveillance and detecting threats.

Various sectors praise AI for transforming emergency responses. AI-driven systems have sped up help during crises. In the UK, AI helps first responders act quickly and wisely, especially in dangerous situations like the Southport violence, where over 50 officers were hurt.

AI also fights cybercrime, like phishing, which hackers often use. It’s good at stopping dangers early, protecting against attacks. This helps lessen the worry for people, by keeping data and systems safe. Healthcare benefits lots from AI too, keeping patient data private and secure from cyber threats.

Besides cyber safety, AI helps with general safety during events. An example is during a Taylor Swift-themed class, where AI managed threats in real-time. These AI stories prove its key role in keeping us safe, online and offline. As AI gets better, it becomes even more crucial for UK’s public safety, marking a new chapter of trust in tech’s ability to protect.

Conclusion

Dave Antrobus has been key in bringing AI into public safety. This shows how tech can hugely improve how we protect society. By leading in AI innovations, he shows how artificial intelligence can make security better and ready for the future. This ensures we’re prepared for new public safety challenges.

AI has made a big difference in public safety, from better traffic control to stronger digital security. But, as AI grows, we must tackle problems like data privacy and bias. This makes sure AI works well and fairly.

The journey to improve security with AI looks promising. Working together — governments, businesses, and researchers — is crucial. This team effort aims to use AI to its fullest. This can lead to safer, more advanced public safety systems. Dave Antrobus’s work not only celebrates what we’ve achieved but also guides us towards a better future with AI in public safety.
