Improving Legal Frameworks to Support Online Child Sex Abuse Prosecutions

该项目旨在更深入地了解澳大利亚在线儿童性虐待起诉的性质和程度。通过实证研究，借鉴执法部门和其他利益相关者的实践经验，它将产生关于澳大利亚法律和政策框架是否适合有效调查和起诉此类犯罪的新知识，特别关注亚太地区和新技术的使用。预期成果包括关于刑法改革和执法政策的循证建议，旨在改善在线儿童性虐待犯罪的国际执法，并为其他形式的严重跨国在线犯罪提供一个模式。

This project aims to gain a deeper understanding of the nature and extent of online child sexual abuse prosecutions in Australia. Using empirical studies to draw on the practical experience of law enforcement and other stakeholders, it will generate new knowledge concerning the suitability of Australia's legal and policy frameworks to effectively investigate and prosecute such offences, with a particular focus on the Asia-Pacific region and the use of new technologies. Expected outcomes include evidence-based recommendations on criminal law reform and enforcement policy that aim to improve the international enforcement of online child sexual abuse offences, and to provide a model for other forms of serious transnational online crime.
