This study's aim is to contribute to the knowledge on the steps involved in child sexual exploitation material (CSEM) crimes committed in Darkweb CSEM communities. Due to the anonymous and illegal nature of these communities, academic research is scarce. This study provides a crime script analysis of member communication data from four CSEM Darkweb fora obtained by law enforcement. For cross-validation, suspect interviews from a relevant case file were analyzed. A step-by-step description of the crime process, starting with the preparations necessary to access Darkweb CSEM fora and ending with the postactivity behaviors of exiting the crime scene and preventing detection, is given, focusing on the casts, activities, probs, and personal and contextual requirements at each stage. The findings highlight the scope of the CSEM problem, as well as the influence the Darkweb has on the way the crime is committed. Suitable targets for law enforcement intervention are discussed.
本研究旨在增进对暗网儿童性剥削材料（CSEM）犯罪中所涉及步骤的认识。由于这些社区具有匿名性和非法性，学术研究非常匮乏。本研究通过执法部门获取的来自四个暗网 CSEM 论坛的成员交流数据，进行了犯罪情节分析。为了进行交叉验证，对相关案件档案中的嫌疑人访谈进行了分析。该研究给出了犯罪过程的逐步描述，从访问暗网 CSEM 论坛所需的准备工作开始，一直到退出犯罪现场和防止被发现的后活动行为结束，重点关注每个阶段的角色、活动、问题以及个人和背景要求。研究结果突出了 CSEM 问题的范围，以及暗网对犯罪方式的影响。讨论了适合执法干预的目标。
