Abstract
Results from the National Juvenile Online Victimization (N‐
JOV) Prosecutor Study indicate that prosecutors use a mix of
strategies to handle defendants who possess large amounts of
child pornography (CP). Prosecutors reported difficulties with
computer forensics and the police investigation, but not so
much with defense strategies. One‐quarter of prosecutors
who dealt with CP cases had one that went in front of a jury in
the past 2 years. Nearly half of prosecutors would like clearer
guidelines about the types of CP cases accepted for federal
prosecution
