I think Richard Webster refers to the aspect of "trawlng" by police which goes against natural justice and is the opposite to good policing.
It involves polce identifying a type of crime..then setting out to find "victims" and then "evidence".
It's been thoroughly discredited yet Jersey seems to be a prime example of it.
Examples are still happening here in Australia with Victorian police's head of Media Relations being charged with perjury along with deputy comissioners.

And a country Catholic college where 2 priests and a 3rd (dead for about 5 years) have been accused of sexually assaulting boys by 2 (now grown) men. Police placed adverts in local newspapers asking for further "victims" to come forth (..note they used the word "victim" implying guilt without trial)mentioning that compensation was available and low and behold..more complainants step forward.
The media can't lose in these cases-they get the sensationalism of the original story and if it falls apart that's another great tale.
