- Authors
Wurtele, Sandy K.; Kenny, Maureen C.
- Abstract
Current media accounts have highlighted the risks associated with Internet use for children and teens, often portraying it as a dangerous place, where sexual and other types of victimization can occur. This paper critically examines the extent of Internet-based sexual solicitations and victimizations and describes youths who appear to be most at-risk for sexual solicitation and stranger contact. Characteristics of online offenders are described. Current Internet-safety lessons are described, and suggestions for expanding prevention efforts are provided.
