Abstract
This review synthesises empirical
studies from the past decade investigating
child sexual abuse material (CSAM)
production and distribution to gain insight
into crime commission processes involved
in these crimes. The findings highlight
overlaps in risk factors for child sexual abuse
and CSAM production and distribution, and
possible unique risk factors specific to the
latter. A substantial amount of CSAM is
produced in family contexts, and there are
different motivations and strategies for
producing CSAM. Taken together, the
findings provide important foundational
information about the variety of crime
commission processes involved in CSAM
production and distribution, helping the
development of effective prevention and
intervention strategies for this increasingly
prolific type of crime.
