Understanding and responding to online child sexual exploitation offenders

在过去二十年中，在线通信技术的发展促进了在线儿童性剥削的增长。利用数据链接框架，该项目旨在加强对网络儿童性剥削的理解，围绕这一问题的法律框架，以及网络性犯罪者的独特特征、风险和需求。预期的结果包括增加知识，为当前的执法和量刑实践提供信息，并制定风险评估和干预协议，供在线犯罪者临床使用。这将增加针对网上性犯罪者的循证做法，并有助于防止网上和社区对儿童的性剥削。

The development of online communication technologies has facilitated a growth in online child sexual exploitation over the past two decades. Using a data-linkage framework, this project aims to enhance understanding of online child sexual exploitation, the legal frameworks surrounding this issue, and the unique characteristics, risks and needs of online sexual offenders. Expected outcomes include increased knowledge to inform current law enforcement and sentencing practices and the development of risk assessment and intervention protocols for clinical use with online offenders. This should increase evidence-based practice with online sexual offenders and assist in preventing the sexual exploitation of children online and in the community.
