Child pornography is a particularly serious crime in the United States. The crime consists of the sexual exploitation of children by offenders who seek to benefit directly or indirectly from the vice. This article examines child pornography from several perspectives and explains trends in arrests made in 2000 and 2006. The article used data from the National Youth Online Victimization Study, which is a longitudinal survey of a sample of 2,500 forces of order in the US. Ethnicity-based child pornography trends are also highlighted, with whites and Hispanics being investigated. The direction of crimes, arrests, and prosecutions of individuals in relation to child pornography is discussed. The story of the perpetrators is also used to describe some aspects of child pornography. The article also shows the distribution of delinquents in different age groups. The fate of those caught and prosecuted with child pornography is assessed and analyzed in relation to the severity and effectiveness of the punishments. Child pornography crimes are almost stable in the United States of America. Race is influential because some breeds are more associated with vice. In both years that the studies in this article were conducted, child pornography was prevalent among non-Hispanic whites (Wolak, Finkelhor, and Mitchell 36). This implies that white males are the most notorious in child pornography. It is also evident that vice also occurs in most parts of the country and across differences in terms of social, academic and economic background. This is evident from the finding that the offenders were of different upbringing, geography...... middle of paper...... The United States is a real real-time problem because it targets the most innocent members of society. There are greater efforts to combat the vice by the police, who are on high alert regarding child pornography. The risk posed by offenders is exceptionally high as they have a greater chance of success by targeting children. Punishment should be made more severe and stricter state laws should be enforced. In addition to adopting better methods to combat child pornography, knowledge of the crime itself is crucial. This will spur efforts to curb the use of technology in the perpetuation of child pornography. Works Cited Janis, Wolak, David, Finkelhor and Kimberly, Mitchell.
