Numbers are astonishing, the CrimeStoppers progra, in Australia is a successfull security crowdsourcing example: "In Australia, a program called Crime Stoppers has gone a step further in institutionalizing the use of crowdsourcing to solve crime.  On CrimeStoppers.com, the police post wanted criminals and unsolved crime incidents to solicit the help of the crowd.  The program has been well received, and it has seen some substantial growth: The 2007-08 financial year results for your program have seen continued growth in all areas.  We believe this growth stems from increased community recognition and participation.”

The following figures depict some of that growth

- 43145 calls (up from 34572)

- 12770 Information reports sent for Investigation (up from 11772)

- 1048 arrests (up from 1011)
