TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - A typology of online child pornography offending JO - Trends and issues in crime and criminal justice A1 - Krone, Tony SP - EP - VL - 279 IS - N2 - The internet has increased the range, volume and accessibility of sexually abusive imagery, including child pornography. Child pornography depicts the sexual or sexualised physical abuse of children under 16 years of age. Australia has joined many other nations in an international effort to combat this multi-faceted global menace that combines both heavily networked and highly individualised criminal behaviour. This paper outlines the legal definition of child pornography and Australian laws relating to this, and presents a typology of online child pornography offending. Implications for law enforcement responses are also discussed. This work is a result of a collaborative program between the Australian Institute of Criminology and the Australian High Tech Crime Centre.
