Illegal Images: Critical Issues and Strategies for Addressing Child Pornography Use

Twenty years ago, the issue of child pornography was limited to helping professionals who specialized in the area of sexual offenses. However, with the widespread use of the Internet and subsequent technologies, child pornography is more available and accessible than ever. As a result, more individuals are entering the mental health and legal system who have viewed child pornography. The purpose of Illegal Images is to provide helping professionals (e.g., mental health professionals, child advocates, pastoral counselors, and community supervision officers) with information regarding the key issues to be addressed when working with anyone viewing online child pornography. Reading Illegal Images will answer critical questions about this difficult issue and give practical solutions for working with these individuals.
