Producers of indecent images of children : a qualitative analysis of the aetiology and development of their offending patterns by Sheehan, Valerie

“…As sex offenders seem to be capitalising on new equipment and the increasingly mainstream culture of photographing and recording almost unreservedly, so too must law enforcement and front-line professionals keep pace.
