Author: International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children Title: Child Pornography: Model Legislation & Global Review. Fifth Edition Summary: Research into national child pornography legislation began in November 2004. Primary sources of information included: LexisNexis; a survey of Member Countries previously conducted by Interpol regarding national child sexual exploitation legislation; government submissions to the U.N. Special Rapporteur on the Sale of Children, Child Prostitution, and Child Pornography in conjunction with a U.N. report on child pornography on the Internet; and direct contact with in-country nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), law enforcement agencies and officers, and attorneys. Sadly, the end results continue to shock. Of the 187 Interpol Member Countries, only 29 have legislation sufficient to combat child pornography offenses (5 Member Countries meet all of the criteria set forth above and 24 Member Countries meet all but the last criteria, pertaining to ISP reporting); and 93 have no legislation at all that specifically addresses child pornography. Of the remaining Interpol Member Countries that do have legislation specifically addressing child pornography: 54 do not define child pornography in national legislation; 24 do not provide for computer-facilitated offenses; and 36 do not criminalize possession of child pornography, regardless of the intent to distribute. Fundamental topics addressed in the model legislation portion of this report include: Defining “child” for the purposes of child pornography as anyone under the age of 18, regardless of the age of sexual consent; Defining “child pornography,” and ensuring that the definition includes computer- and Internet-specific terminology; Creating offenses specific to child pornography in the national penal code, including criminalizing the possession of child pornography, regardless of one’s intent to distribute, and including provisions specific to downloading or viewing images on the Internet; Ensuring criminal penalties for parents or legal guardians who acquiesce to their child’s participation in child pornography; Penalizing those who make known to others where to find child pornography; Including grooming provisions; Punishing attempt crimes; Establishing mandatory reporting requirements for healthcare and social service professionals, teachers, law enforcement officers, photo developers, information technology (IT) professionals, ISPs, credit card companies, and banks; Addressing the criminal liability of children involved in pornography; and Enhancing penalties for repeat offenders, organized crime participants, and other aggravated factors considered upon sentencing.

Author: Heiberg, Turid, ed. Title: Ten Essential Learning Points: Listen and Speak Out against Sexual Abuse of Girls and Boys Summary: The UN Secretary General’s Study on Violence against Children offers an opportunity to speak out against sexual abuse of girls and boys and to identify ways of tackling this serious violation of children’s human rights. Two world congresses have paved the way for governments and the public to acknowledge the sexual exploitation of children, and the time is ripe for concerted actions to effectively protect children against all forms of child sexual abuse and exploitation. The issue of child sexual abuse deserves to be taken seriously by the world community. It is an invasion of the child’s most intimate zone, a violation of the child’s physical and psychological integrity and a transgression of the moral norms of the child and the society. It creates fear in the boy or girl, who may be harmed for life physically and mentally. The stigma and shame surrounding child sexual abuse in all societies usually leaves the child to face the harm in solitude. Disclosure of the abuse seldom leads to a conviction of the abuser – rather it is the child who is blamed and judged. International law, in particular the Convention on the Rights of the Child, does set high standards for protection of children against all kinds of violence, but national laws, customary laws, traditional practices, systems of justice and child welfare systems do not adequately protect children. Implementing children’s rights, including their rights to protection, are as a rule not prioritised and overlooked in many places and situations. Children are as a consequence, denied full enjoyment of their rights, the development of their abilities and meaningful participation in society. Save the Children's report on sexual abuse is based on consultations carried out in Canada, Colombia, Brazil, South Africa, Romania, Spain, Mozambique, Rwanda, Bangladesh, Nepal, Nicaragua and Syria. The report is a contribution to the UN Study on Violence against Children, a study which was requested by the UN General Assembly in 2001. This report is one of three global thematic submissions to the UN Study; the other two focus on Physical and Humiliating Punishment and Children in Conflict with the Law.

Author: Erooga, Marcus Title: Towards Safer Organisations II: Using the Perspectives of Convicted Sex Offenders to Inform Organisational Safeguarding of Children Summary: This research presents the findings of research undertaken by an NSPCC Research Team from 2008– 2010 with 27 adults convicted of sexual offences against children committed whilst in organisational positions of trust. Developed from an earlier review of the literature (Erooga, 2009) which identified the absence of the perspective of offenders themselves in how children could be better protected from such abuse it is a qualitative investigation of organisational processes, unique in its focus on using the offender’s perspective. The primary aims of the research were to identify organisational risk factors and the way in which convicted sex offenders accessed organisations, in order to propose good practice in recruitment and within work settings with children and young people so that they can be better safeguarded against abuse and exploitation.
