Anti-Pirates are a bad joke among highsec dwellers who refuse to lose their sec. Join RvB or say **** it and go to lowsec. Targets are hard enough to find in lowsec without cutting out a significant demographic.

You could always try to start your own anti-pirate corp. Amamake is a notorious pirate hang out with many of the pirates there also having bounties on them. Additionally, you could just try low sec soloing and just shoot flashy red things.

There are a couple problems with anti-pirate corps:
1) Pirates are usually pretty good at picking fights they can win
2) There is no mechanism for forcing a pirate to fight, such as something you can attack that they will want to protect.
3) Pirates generally have good scouting, know the locals, and will know who is out of place
4) Pirates often have access to reinforcements

So to be an effective anti-pirate you need to be able to get the pirates to commit to a fight, and then bring in enough force to defeat the pirates, bring it in quickly enough to save the bait/catch the pirates still on gate, and all without the pirate scouts detecting the reinforcements in time to warn off the pirates. Even if you could pull it off, the pirates would quickly get wise to the threat your corp posed and you would quickly run out of pirates willing to let you shoot them unless they have a hotdrop ready for you.

Easy enough, either match them ship for ship and be better than them, as most people will fight a fight they have an okay-ish chance of winning, or blackops hot drop Recons.

When my corp owned Genesis back over the summer it was just about the only thing scrubs would do that would be troublesome.

+1

There is a narrow gap between having the bait ship attacked and jumping in reinforcements. The issue being your bait ship has to survive long enough for your entire fleet to warp across a system and jump through another gate. Chances are by this time your bait will be dead and the pirates will have escaped. At best your bait will be alive and you may have caught one of them.

The only effective "anti-pirate" strategies I've seen are solo players in pimped active tank vindicators/maelstroms/domis/hyperions wandering around with command T3 scouts, getting caught in camps and then usually obliterating them one by one. But that isn't exactly easy mode.
