Exploring behavioral patterns of child-focused online sexual solicitation: findings from a Canadian sample.
Background: This study investigates online sexual exploitation patterns of minors in Canada, using a dataset of 96 child luring cases from 2001 to 2020 provided by law enforcement.
Objective: The study aims to extend the understanding of online sexual exploitation by identifying and characterizing offender profiles based on their behavior.
Participants and setting: The study examines 96 cases of online sexual exploitation of minors in Canada, drawing from law enforcement data.
Methods: Latent Class Analysis (LCA) is applied to identify offender profiles. External validity analyses were conducted to assess the generalizability of the LCA model.
Results: Four profiles are identified: contact-driven (Profile 1), fantasy-driven with gradual progression (Profile 2), exhibitionist (Profile 3), and sex-driven (Profile 4). The study reveals that fantasy-driven offenders prioritize relationship-building before progressing to sexual activities. Contact-driven offenders, on the other hand, seek immediate sexual gratification. These findings indicate a significant heterogeneity in online offender behaviors.
Conclusions and limitations: This study contributes to a deeper understanding of online sexual exploitation patterns targeting minors. It underscores the need for further research to adapt interventions and law enforcement strategies effectively in response to the complexities of online offender behaviors. One limitation of the study is the small sample size, which may affect the generalizability of the findings.
期刊介绍:
Official Publication of the International Society for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect. Child Abuse & Neglect The International Journal, provides an international, multidisciplinary forum on all aspects of child abuse and neglect, with special emphasis on prevention and treatment; the scope extends further to all those aspects of life which either favor or hinder child development. While contributions will primarily be from the fields of psychology, psychiatry, social work, medicine, nursing, law enforcement, legislature, education, and anthropology, the Journal encourages the concerned lay individual and child-oriented advocate organizations to contribute.
