Investigation Strategy for the Small Pedophiles World

Abstract

Internet child pornography (CP) is one of the most rapidly growing problems on the Net. In particular, pedophilia has been largely facilitated by the Internet, because it has enabled like-minded people to meet and fuel their sexual interests in children. In addition, the diffusion of pedophile material mainly occurs in almost-public fields like the World Wide Web, mailing lists, newsgroups, and bulletin boards, where anonymity and confidentiality obscure most of the communication parties and content causing difficulties for investigative analysis.
