| TITLE |
| CHILD PORNOGRAPHY: CRIME COMPUTERS AND SOCIETY |
|
| ABSTRACT |
| The book provides a framework for understanding the contemporary nature of the problem of child pornography and paedophilia, especially the harm it causes, its intimate relationship with new technologies and the challenges it poses to the relevant authorities. The book starts with a historical background, showing how paedophilia came to be considered as a criminal offence, how paedophiles started networking and the new role of the Internet. The authors then move on to address the issue of definition of child pornography. The extraordinary complexity of providing such definition is the reason why while child pornography is almost universally condemned, the legislative response varies considerably. The situation in Ireland is analysed as a case study. The final part of the book deals with the challenges and consequences in formulating an effective policing response. |
