‘(…) This book is comprehensive and it offers an excellent overview of policies and programs designed to respond to the problem of the sexual exploitation of children through the internet. Understandably, much emphasis is placed on prevention and the use of law enforcement to apprehend perpetrators. The issues of free speech and censorship of the internet is discussed in a sensitive way and attention is also given to the treatment of those who engage in child exploitation. Although this book deals with a rather specialized issue, it contains much information that will be relevant to anyone concerned with child welfare issues today. Indeed, it is a very helpful addition to the child welfare literature.’
