Abstract
The emergence of the Internet as a mass consumer product has not necessarily created any entirely new genres of crime, but it has certainly given a new twist to some very old and familiar ones. Above all it has changed the scale on which a number of offences are carried out. Crimes against children are a classic example. Crimes involving the production and distribution of child abuse images are a very specific case in point.
