TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Internet service provider (ISP) filtering of child-abusive material: A critical reflection of its effectiveness JO - Journal of sexual aggression A1 - Eneman, Marie SP - 223 EP - 235 VL - 16 IS - 2 N2 - The availability of child-abusive material challenges traditional legal regulation. A response to this is internet service providers' (ISPs) recent implementation of filtering systems to regulate access of this material. This paper considers whether ISP-implemented filtering systems are effective in preventing and controlling access to child-abusive material. Evaluation of the effectiveness will be based upon empirical material collected through interviews with 15 offenders convicted of child pornography; in addition, a Detective Inspector with the Swedish National Criminal Police has been interviewed. The paper concludes that the filtering approach contains both effective and ineffective elements.
