dc.descriptionOverall arrests for technology‐facilitated child sexual exploitation crimes did not continue to increase from 2006 to 2009 as they had earlier in the decade. However, arrests for child pornography possession increased by about 50% from 2006 to 2009. In addition, arrests for technology‐facilitated sex crimes with identified victims doubled, but the increase was in cases where offenders knew their victims in person, not cases in which they met online. Arrests of offenders who solicited undercover police posing as minors declined between 2006 and 2009, after rising earlier in the decade. The decline may be because of shifts in law enforcement strategies that included more focus on child pornography offenses.
