  18. THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM

  19. THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM • The US Financial Coalition Against Child Pornography (FCACP) reported a 50% decrease in the past year of reported commercial abuse websites • The US Treasury has also reported a significant reduction in the money flow from child abuse images • FACS analysis shows a 78% decrease in traditional commercial CAI sites

  20. THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM An independent expert company were asked to analyse its database of previously flagged sites suspected of linking to child abuse images.

  21. THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM Extending the analysis over a longer period, commercial sites providing C.A.I. are showing a significant decrease across ´A´ sites

  22. THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM The adverts and banners for C.A.I. web sites have also decreased quite dramatically

  23. THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM This suggests commercial sites and advertisements for them are significantly decreasing from their peak in 2008 • Images being readily available at no cost • Development of new technologies • Law enforcement action • Media attention

  24. COMMERCIAL vs NON COMMERCIAL

  25. THE DISTRIBUTORS Websites organisers and criminals operating commercial websites
