Child Pornography: Law and Policy draws on interdisciplinary work
in order to critically address the law relating to child
pornography. Child pornography is recognized as a specific form of
child abuse and there are now many national, and international,
efforts to tackle it. Yet despite these efforts, the volume of
child pornography, particularly on the internet, is increasing. The
law has reacted to this situation by adapting its definitions,
increasing sentences and providing new powers to law enforcement.
It is, however, unclear how far the law should extend. What should
the relationship be between criminalization and free-speech? Is
there a link between the "use" of child pornography and contact
offending? The issue of child pornography has been the subject of
considerable literature in the areas of psychology, sociology and
psychiatry. These studies provide the basis for a greater
understanding of the nature of child pornography, as well as the
profiles and behaviour of those who access or produce such
material. Child Pornography: Law and Policy brings this wider
literature to bear on the legal and policy frameworks relating to
child pornography, questioning both the appropriateness and the
effectiveness of the law in this context.
