This study analyzed the evolution over time of the activity of consumers of child sexual exploitation material (CSEM). To this end, images and metadata were extracted from the hard drives of 40 individuals convicted of possession of child pornography and analyzed. A sample of these images ( N = 61,244) was categorized by the age of the subjects depicted and-using the Combating Paedophile Information Networks in Europe (COPINE) scale-by severity of the acts depicted. Collecting activity was observed to follow four patterns. The most prevalent pattern was a progressive decrease in the age of the person depicted and a progressive increase in the severity of the sexual acts. In light of the results, we propose four explanations of the nature of, and variations in, child-pornography collections.
本研究分析了儿童性剥削材料（CSEM）消费者活动随时间的演变。为此，从40名因持有儿童色情制品而被定罪的个人的硬盘中提取了图像和元数据并进行分析。这些图像样本（N = 61,244）根据所描绘对象的年龄进行分类，并使用欧洲打击恋童癖信息网络（COPINE）量表根据所描绘行为的严重程度进行分类。观察到收集活动呈现出四种模式。最普遍的模式是所描绘人物的年龄逐渐下降，性行为的严重程度逐渐增加。根据研究结果，我们对儿童色情制品收藏的性质和变化提出了四种解释。
