In Harm's Way Duty Of Care For Child Exploitation And Pornography Investigators

摘要

Since the 1990s, law enforcement agencies have witnessed rampant growth in the computer-facilitated possession, production, and distribution of child pornography due in large part to technological advances that have eased the exchange of large caches of this material. These changes, together with the emergence of social-networking Web sites, Listserv systems, and newsgroups, havernprovided online forums for the international criminal community of child predators and facilitated unfettered cyber access to potential child victims. In response to this clear and present danger, federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies have developed and deployed enhanced and targeted initiatives.
