It did so through a review of research on the implementation and effectiveness of initiatives that aim to prevent CSAM offending, and through input from an international expert advisory group. Seven principles are described in this paper: the use of advertising campaigns; confidentiality and anonymity; an empathetic and non-judgemental approach; accessibility; training and support; tailored programs; and evaluation. These broad principles can act as a valuable resource for practitioners and policymakers.We would like to thank the former Manager of the AIC\u2019s JV Barry Library, Jane Shelling, Reference Librarian Megan Whittle, and Systems Librarian Yvette Maconachie for their assistance on the literature search. We would also like to thank the CSAM Offending Prevention Project Advisory Group for their valuable contribution to this study. The views expressed in this paper do not necessarily reflect the views of members of the CSAM Offending Prevention Project Advisory Group.18enPublisher Copyright: ©Australian Institute of Criminology 2024.202410.52922/ti7747585195253989
