abstract="This study's aim is to contribute to the knowledge on the steps involved in child  sexual exploitation material (CSEM) crimes committed in Darkweb CSEM communities. Due to the anonymous and illegal nature of these communities, academic research is  scarce. This study provides a crime script analysis of member communication data  from four CSEM Darkweb fora obtained by law enforcement. For cross-validation,  suspect interviews from a relevant case file were analyzed. A step-by-step  description of the crime process, starting with the preparations necessary to access  Darkweb CSEM fora and ending with the postactivity behaviors of exiting the crime  scene and preventing detection, is given, focusing on the casts, activities, probs,  and personal and contextual requirements at each stage. The findings highlight the  scope of the CSEM problem, as well as the influence the Darkweb has on the way the  crime is committed. Suitable targets for law enforcement intervention are discussed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
