Risultati provenienti da risposte in lingua italiana ai questionari Re-Direction da parte di autori di CSAM nel darkweb.
The innovative research, conducted by the Finnish child rights non-profit organisation, Suojellaan Lapsia, Protect Children ry., gathered responses from over 54,000 anonymous child sexual abuse material (CSAM) offenders in the dark web in 21 languages, including over 966 Italian-language participants. The collaboration between Protect Children and the Joint Research Centre, with its expertise in the field, has led to an unprecedented research on child sexual abuse material (CSAM) offenders.
These results show that Italian-speaking individuals when they first viewed CSAM were younger on average than their international counterparts, even though a significant portion of our sample stated they first encountered CSAM accidentally.
Italian-speaking respondents, compared to the international average, are more likely to contact a child online after viewing CSAM and view livestreamed CSAM and violent content.
Nonetheless, the Italian-speaking respondents reported that they have attempted to stop searching and accessing CSAM and they are motivated to receive help in this endeavour.
These results highlight the urgent need to implement effective child protection mechanisms and programs aimed at enhancing children's safety skills. Additionally, there is a critical need for comprehensive offender-focused prevention programs designed for individuals seeking help online to manage their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours.
