Using the COPINE (Combating Paedophile Information Networks in Europe) classification model, which categorizes the severity of victimization in child pornography, United States law enforcement officers will be asked to classify Internet child pornography images they have seized as evidence for a 6 month period, using an anonymous online questionnaire. This project is currently in the data collection phase.
