Technology-Facilitated Child Sexual Exploitation: Prevention, Disruption And Survivor Support - Social Work

Technology-Facilitated Child Sexual Exploitation: Prevention, Disruption And Survivor Support
thumb

Overview

This presentation will explore how technology is changing patterns of child sexual victimization and the implications for policy and practice. Child sexual abuse cases increasingly involve a technological component, as “offline” as well as “online” offenders take advantage of the opportunities offered by new technologies for abuse, control and surveillance. Offenders are now more likely to be in contact with other offenders via “dark web” communities and the exchange of child sexual abuse material. Victims and survivors face the ongoing distribution of images and videos of their abuse as well as offender networks who are sharing victimization strategies and information. The technology sector has proven to be disinterested in implementing effective child protection and victim support strategies .


The presentation will examine how traditional conceptualizations of child sexual abuse and related interventions need to be adapted to address the impact of technology on perpetrators and victims. Drawing on cutting-edge research, the presentation will provide foundational information for conceptualization, intervention and treatment in cases of technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation. Alongside research with perpetrators and professionals, the workshop will showcase the voices and perspectives of survivors of online child sexual exploitation, their experiences of interventions and their recommendations for improved responses. The challenges faced by victims and survivors of online child sexual exploitation, and supportive professionals, will be contextualized against the neglect of the problem of child sexual exploitation in Australia and internationally.
