Cybercrime

Paper Summary:

This paper proposes a research project on a field of cybercrime that is of particular concern to parents and all of those who are concerned about the safety of children: The exposure of children to pornography through the Internet and the far more serious problem of children's becoming involved in the production of pornography through contacts that they make when surfing the web.

From the Paper:

"The statistics concerning the incidents of cybercrime are alarming indeed in no small measure because of the myriad ways in which home computers have become integrated into every aspect of our lives. Computers seem to be always on and always available to children and because of this many adults do not remember how vigilant they in fact should be. The following are some important statistics to be aware of:
1 in 3 households have been intruded upon through the internet. (National White Collar Crime Center)
Online child pornography/child sex exploitation is the most significant crime problem confronting the FBI that involves crimes against children. (FBI Innocent Images National Initiative)
"There was a 1,264% increase in the number of cases opened over the last four years. (FBI Innocent Images National Initiative). ""
