This book explores the enduring appeal of child pornography and its
ramifications for criminal justice systems around the world. It is
based on an extensive review of academic literature and newspaper
coverage, a trawl of websites frequented by those with a sexual
interest in children, a survey of how police investigate these
offences, examination of prosecutors' decisions, and interviews
with judges. It provides a framework for understanding the
contemporary nature of this problem, especially the harms it
causes, its intimate relationship with new technologies and the
challenges it poses to law enforcement authorities. The internet
plays a pivotal role. Its sheer size, the anarchic way it grows,
the lack of any boundaries to its expansion and its disregard for
national borders make it a legal environment without parallel. An
unwavering focus on the threat of sexual abuse has contributed to
the emergence of a context where routine dealings with children are
viewed through a 'paedophilic' lens. This can have the unfortunate
consequence of distracting attention from more urgent concerns
(such as poverty and neglect), which make children vulnerable to
sexual exploitation. In this way an emphasis on the sexualisation
of children could be said to aggravate the problem that it sets out
to address. The book: provides a comprehensive analysis of child
pornography issues in all of their complexity, including legal,
psychological, criminal justice and social perspectives. presents
significant volume of original empirical data gathered from police,
prosecutors and judges. includes new qualitative and quantitative
information set against a background of shifting international
developments. The analysis is explicitly comparative. draws on a
variety of sources including support groups for paedophiles,
newspaper coverage of court cases involving child pornography,
victim testimony and police operations.
