Notes:	"The aim of this rapid evidence assessment was to answer the question: what is known about the behaviour and characteristics of people who sexually abuse and exploit children, where such abuse is facilitated by the internet? It considered how perpetrators use particular technologies, including social media platforms, peer-to-peer file sharing, live streaming or webcams, the darknet and The Onion Router (TOR) (freely available technology for enabling anonymous communication). In addition, the rapid evidence assessment sought to answer the following sub-questions: ? How does the availability of these technologies – and the availability and changing nature of social media – influence perpetrators' behaviour? ? How do perpetrators identify and target potential victims on different forums? ? What are the key safeguarding challenges for institutions raised by these new and developing technologies and associated perpetrator behaviour? The rapid evidence assessment also sought to identify evidence regarding emerging types of offences, specifically those involving children's self-generated sexual images or material, including: ? the role of self-generated material in sexual solicitation, exploitation and abuse of children ? sexual extortion, where the threat of sharing self-generated sexual material is used to blackmail children into performing sexual acts, or other gains by the perpetrator ? offences in which self-generated sexual material shared freely online by children is identified and circulated by perpetrators with an interest in child sexual exploitation material Lastly, the rapid evidence assessment aimed to capture information pertaining to: ? children who perpetrate online-facilitated sexual abuse against peers ? the relationship between different types of offending (internet-only offences and contact offences) ? pathways into offending" Open access See more: https://www.iicsa.org.uk/key-documents/3720/view/Rapid%20Evidence%20Assessment%20Behaviour%20and%20Characteristics%20of%20Perpetrators%20of%20Online-facilitated%20Child%20Sexual%20Abuse%20and%20Exploitation.pdf
