Abstract
To better understand this type of victimization, we analyzed 5,863 CyberTipline reports from January
1, 2015 through December 31, 2015. Patterns and trends were analyzed based on the information
provided by Internet companies, other agencies and the public about the interactions/exchange of
information by/between individuals regarding the online enticement of children. In all of these
incidents, reports were made to the CyberTipline, jurisdictions were identified and the reports were
forwarded to the appropriate law-enforcement agencies.
