The AIC has released a new publication that showcases research focused on understanding online sexual exploitation of children and identifying ways to reduce this problem. It presents work in three broad categories:

• understanding the nature of child sexual abuse material and contact sexual offending (chapters 1 to 6);
• strategies and approaches to tackle the problem (chapters 7 to 11); and
• live streaming of child sexual abuse (chapters 12 to 15).

Taken together, this significant body of research provides new insights into the contemporary nature of online sexual exploitation of children, which can help inform policy and practice.
