Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of technology-facilitated crimes against children worldwide has increased substantially and become one of the most serious crime problems. Due to these considerations, there is a lack of large-scale systematic reviews investigating Cybercrime in and of itself could be challenging to investigate in comparison to traditional ones due to the elusiveness of the cyber realm. Specifically, investigating internet crimes against children comes with specific challenges. These offenses target vulnerable children who are less likely to realize their victimization, lowering the probability of reporting to the proper authorities. With these obstacles in mind, this research study utilizes data information regarding the characteristics of online CSAM users and their practices to inform law enforcement, parents, and the public for preventative and strategic purposes. Furthermore, this study diagnoses the significant challenges of investigating technology-facilitated crimes against children by examining how the current criminal justice system responds to these incidents. The policy recommendations discussed offer a holistic lens for highlighting this critical issue and implementing practical and proactive training solutions for law enforcement and the public.

网上儿童性虐待和性剥削的趋势：网上性犯罪者概况及刑事司法对策》。

在 COVID-19 大流行期间，全球范围内由技术促成的针对儿童的犯罪数量大幅增加，成为最严重的犯罪问题之一。基于这些考虑，由于网络领域的不确定性，调查网络犯罪本身与调查传统犯罪相比具有挑战性。具体而言，调查针对儿童的网络犯罪具有特殊的挑战性。这些犯罪行为针对的是脆弱的儿童，他们不太可能意识到自己的受害情况，从而降低了向有关当局报告的可能性。考虑到这些障碍，本研究利用有关在线 CSAM 用户特征及其行为的数据信息，为执法部门、家长和公众提供信息，以达到预防和战略目的。此外，本研究还通过考察当前的刑事司法系统如何应对这些事件，诊断了调查由技术推动的侵害儿童犯罪所面临的重大挑战。所讨论的政策建议提供了一个全面的视角，以突出这一关键问题，并为执法部门和公众实施切实可行、积极主动的培训解决方案。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Child Sexual Abuse is interdisciplinary and provides an essential interface for researchers, academicians, attorneys, clinicians, and practitioners. The journal advocates for increased networking in the sexual abuse field, greater dissemination of information and research, a higher priority for this international epidemic, and development of effective assessment, intervention, and prevention programs. Divided into sections to provide clear information, the journal covers research issues, clinical issues, legal issues, prevention programs, case studies, and brief reports, focusing on three subject groups - child and adolescent victims of sexual abuse or incest, adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse or incest, and sexual abuse or incest offenders.
