The likelihood that child pornography offenders will later commit a contact sexual offense is unknown. In the present study, we identified a sample of 201 adult male child pornography offenders using police databases and examined their charges or convictions after the index child pornography offense(s). We also examined their criminal records to identify potential predictors of later offenses: ...

In this study, we developed a structured risk checklist, the Child Pornography Offender Risk Tool (CPORT), to predict any sexual recidivism among adult male offenders with a conviction for child pornography offenses. We identified predictors of sexual recidivism using a 5-year fixed follow-up analysis from a police case file sample of 266 adult male child pornography offenders in the community ...

Despite the prevalence of problematic Internet pornography viewing and the breadth of intervention approaches to potentially address it, no studies to address this problem have been reported to date. An emerging treatment approach, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), holds promise as a treatment for Internet pornography viewing because of its focus on processes hypothesized to underlie thi...

CONTEXT The Internet has become an important tool for finding health information, especially among adolescents. Many computers have software designed to block access to Internet pornography. Because pornography-blocking software cannot perfectly discriminate between pornographic and nonpornographic Web sites, such products may block access to health information sites, particularly those related...

SUMMARY It may have been the hope of some that this Workshop would produce a profound summary statement or authoritative, comprehensive package of findings about the effects of pornography. What was produced instead was more of a progress report. All of the facts are not in yet regarding the effects of pornography, but enough facts are in that an assessment of future directions for research and...

Respondents were solicited to complete an anonymous online survey from countries where it is illegal to possess, distribute, and produce Internet child pornography; 257 respondents (94%) were classified as non-consumers, and 16 respondents (6%) wer...

There is a widespread concern in Western society about the visibility of pornography in public places and on the Internet. What are the consequences for young men and women, and how do they think about gender, sexuality, and pornography? Data was collected, through 22 individual interviews and seven focus groups, from 51 participants (36 women and 37 men aged 14-20 years) in Sweden. The results...

As Internet grows quickly, pornography, which is often printed into a small quantity of publication in the past, becomes one of the highly distributed information over Internet. However, pornography may be harmful to children, and may affect the efficiency of workers. In this paper, we design an easy scheme for detecting pornography. We exploit primitive information from pornography and use thi...

In this paper, we offer some observations regarding the sex industry, in particular the pornography and erotica sectors. Marketing literature observing pornography and erotica is scant. We find that following exponential growth of the sex industry (given use of the Internet) an evaluation of consumer behaviour and marketing practices is justified. In order to begin a study of these industry sec...
