The migration of offenses against children to the online environment requires a revised understanding of how episode dynamics aggravate the harm.
To assess the contribution of various online offense episode elements to the overall negative emotional impact.
The sample comprised 2639 IPSOS KnowledgePanel members aged 18 to 28, 1215 of whom reported episodes of online sexual abuse or cyberstalking that occurred prior to the age of 18. The analysis was based on 2056 episodes with detailed follow-up information.
Participants were recruited online and filled out online questionnaires about online sexual abuse and cyberstalking episodes, their characteristics, and the negative emotional impact (NEI) associated with each episode. NEI was derived from a factor analysis of 8 impact items.
Higher negative emotional impact was associated with forms of sexual image misuse: non-consensual sharing, non-consensual taking and threatened sharing/sextortion. Peers made up a majority of offenders, and their impact was just as great as adult offenders. Known perpetrators, including intimate partners, also made up the largest proportion of offenders and their impact was just as great as online strangers or anonymous offenders.
Online safety awareness and prevention need a larger focus on peer and acquaintance offenses, particularly around the misuse of sexual images.
针对儿童的犯罪行为向网络环境的转移，需要我们对事件动态如何加剧伤害有新的认识。
评估各种网络犯罪事件要素对总体负面情绪影响的作用。
样本包括2639名年龄在18至28岁之间的益普索知识面板成员，其中1215人报告了18岁之前发生的网络性虐待或网络跟踪事件。分析基于2056起有详细后续信息的事件。
通过网络招募参与者，并让他们填写关于网络性虐待和网络跟踪事件、其特征以及与每起事件相关的负面情绪影响（NEI）的在线问卷。NEI来自对8个影响项目的因素分析。
较高的负面情绪影响与性图像滥用形式相关：未经同意的分享、未经同意的获取以及威胁分享/敲诈勒索。同龄人构成了犯罪者的大多数，他们的影响与成年犯罪者一样大。已知的犯罪者，包括亲密伴侣，也占犯罪者的最大比例，他们的影响与网络陌生人或匿名犯罪者一样大。
网络安全意识和预防需要更多地关注同龄人及熟人犯罪，特别是围绕性图像的滥用。
