TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - The internet and offending behaviour: A case study JO - Journal of sexual aggression A1 - Quayle, E. A1 - Holland, G. A1 - Linehan, C. A1 - Taylor, M. SP - 78 EP - 96 VL - 6 IS - 1-2 N2 - The COPINE Project at the Department of Applied Psychology, seeks to address children's vulnerability in relation to the Internet and child pornography. As part of the project, offenders convicted of downloading such images have been interviewed. This paper considers existing models of offender behaviour alongside literature relating to Internet use. A single case study is used to illustrate a process-focused model of offending, using interview material to demonstrate how the offender represented and accounted for his behaviour. The offender in question had no history of engaging in sexual behaviour with actual children, but his case illustrated many of the stages described by offenders in their involvement with pornography, including: setting events, engagement, collecting behaviour, and the emergence of relationships.
