Description

This session presents findings from an anonymous self-report survey of over 20,000 adults seeking child sexual abuse material (CSAM) online, offering rare insight into perpetrator behaviour. The research responds to an evidence gap on how perpetrators navigate the online ecosystem, in particular the technologies, platforms, and features that shape behaviour.
