Purpose The purpose of this paper is to collate the available research into the characteristics of child abuse material (CAM) offenders to inform future assessment and treatment options. This systematic review collates the contribution and directionality of variables from existing research assessing an offenders’ use of CAM. Design/methodology/approach Background and definitions of terminology are reviewed, and a summary of sexual reoffending rates provided. Articles were then identified for inclusion through a systematic review using online searches, EBSCOHost and other databases. Articles were also identified from reference lists. After exclusions, the final sample (n=17) were reviewed for identified variables and their directional contribution to risk. Findings Internet only (IO) offenders present with a range of similarities and differences. The demographic, psychological and offence-specific risk variables identified suggest IO offenders differ from other types of sexual offenders. Using the collated variables, IO offender profiles are suggested. Research limitations/implications Limitations have been identified in the availability of research in this area, the variety of terminology and the definitions in common usage. Additionally, there are challenges in ascertaining the truthfulness of self-reported data. Practical implications Development of IO offender-specific risk assessment tools would contribute to advances in targeted supervision and treatment. In turn, this contributes to community safety by protecting children from online sexual victimisation. Originality/value Based on identified gaps, this review contributes to ongoing research by signalling future pathways for IO offender-specific risk assessment.

有系统地审查虐待儿童罪犯的风险变量

目的本文的目的是整理有关虐待儿童材料犯罪者特征的现有研究,以为将来的评估和治疗选择提供依据。这项系统的审查整理了评估犯罪者使用CAM的现有研究中变量的贡献和方向性。设计/方法/方法回顾了术语的背景和定义,并提供了性侵犯率的摘要。然后,通过使用在线搜索,EBSCOHost和其他数据库的系统审查,确定了要纳入的文章。还从参考列表中识别了文章。排除后,对最终样本(n = 17)进行检查,以发现已确定的变量及其对风险的定向作用。调查结果仅互联网(IO)罪犯存在许多相似之处和不同之处。确定的人口,心理和特定于犯罪的风险变量表明,IO犯罪者不同于其他类型的性犯罪者。使用整理后的变量,建议使用IO违规者配置文件。研究局限性/含义在该领域研究的可用性,术语的多样性以及常用用法的定义中已经确定了局限性。此外,在确定自我报告数据的真实性方面还存在挑战。实际影响开发特定于IO犯罪者的风险评估工具将有助于有针对性的监督和治疗。反过来,这可以通过保护儿童免受在线性侵害来促进社区安全。创意/价值根据发现的差距,
