Description:
Crime scenes associated with child sexual exploitation and trafficking
in child pornography were once limited to physical locations
such as school playgrounds, church vestibules, trusted neighbors'
homes, camping trips and seedy darkly lit back rooms of adult
bookstores. The explosion of Internet use has created a virtual
hunting ground for sexual predators and has fueled a brisk, multi-billion
dollar trade in the associated illicit material. Approximately
half of the caseload in computer crimes units involves the computer
assisted sexual exploitation of children. Despite the scale of
this problem, or perhaps because of it, there are no published
resources that bring together the complex mingling of disciplines
and expertise required to put together a computer assisted child
exploitation case.
This work fills this void, providing police, prosecutors and forensic examiners
with the historical, legal, technical, and social background for the laws prohibiting
child exploitation, in particular, child pornography. The book will become an
indispensable resource for those involved in the investigation, prosecution and
study of computer-assisted child sexual exploitation.
The book provides a history of child exploitation cases and
studies, outlining the roles of technology in this type of
crime and the evidence they can contain, and documenting new
research performed by the authors. It details how successful
undercover Internet operations are conducted, how the associated
evidence is collected, and how to use the evidence to locate
and apprehend the offender. The heart of this work is a legal
section, detailing all of the legal issues that arise in Internet
child exploitation cases. A forensic examination section presents
evidentiary issues from a technical perspective and describes
how to conduct a forensic examination of digital evidence gathered
in the investigative and probative stages of a child exploitation
case.
Citations to related documents are provided for readers who want to learn more
about certain issues. Actual case examples from computer assisted child exploitation
cases are explored, at all times protecting the privacy of the victims while
providing enough detail to educate the reader.
In addition to providing guidance on the technical and legal aspects of child
exploitation investigations, this work identifies and analyzes trends in this
type of crime and helps readers understand the similarities and differences
between child predators who take to the Internet and predators who do not.
Data from the thirty Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Forces are
compiled and reported to provide a deeper understanding of the types of cases,
types of offenders and the level of danger they pose to themselves, their victims,
and investigating officers. Also, sex offender data from the Offices of Attorneys
General in the United States and similar offices in foreign countries are gathered
to increase the study sample size, establish controls, and expand the scope
of the research to outside of the United States.
